Amsterdam, 1677
In late 1675 a Dutch mission left for Moscow to visit Tsar Alexis (1645-1676).
The embassy was led by the merchant and diplomat Koenraad de Klenck.
After they returned, a report of the journey and a description of the mores and customs of the Muscovite realm was published in Amsterdam. Books about travels in distant lands were a popular genre in the Republic.
