metadata.value: This essay presents the results of application of modern software for analysis of microscopic
  images in order to establish the veracity of an intriguing primary source, an early eighteenth-
  century depiction of the skyline of the city of Kazan. This image is an engraving made
  on the basis of a sketch of the city’s panorama created by the Dutch artist and diarist Cornelis
  de Bruijn during his journey down the Volga in May 1703. The meticulous comparison between
  the computer processed drawing by de Bruijn and early photographs of Kazan enables
  to conclude that the Dutch traveler provided a highly accurate picture, the first of its kind, of
  the contours of Early Modern Kazan. In terms of precision, his picture surpassed earlier illustrations
  of the city such as those published by Adam Olearius. As a result, certain questions
  regarding the age of some of Kazan’s landmarks, for example, the Söyembikä Tower, are clarified.
  It has been established that this building predates the eighteenth century, and the authors
  suggest that its purpose may have been different from being military or defensive. In addition,
  de Bruijn’s illustration elucidates the nature of the renovation carried out in the defensive
  towers of Kazan’s city walls during Peter the Great’s reign when the risk of raids or invasions
  into Muscovite territory from the south and east diminished considerably, which reduced the
  importance of Kazan as a fortified stronghold.
