He was based in Philadelphia as the secretary to the Russian Consul General, but he also was able to travel up to Maine and down to Virginia in that period. He made 52 water-color sketches of scenes in Philadelphia and elsewhere. His observations of the United States were first published in St. Petersburg in 1815.

The views include several of New York City and Niagara Falls; the largest number are of Philadelphia and the area immediately adjacent to that city. It includes both well-known buildings, such as the First Bank of the United States, Christ Church, the Bank of Pennsylvania, the Chestnut Street Theatre, Centre Square, and Pennsylvania Hopsital, and street scenes of carriages, chimney sweeps, an oysterman, and the City Troop.
