Footnotes
* The exchange was recorded in Cyrillic in Löwenstern’s diary, hence escaping the editorial hand of his censorious descendants.
* This timepiece made it all the way round the world and was eventually returned to the Winter Palace collection from where it was originally obtained by Rumiantsev. Alas this well-travelled clock is no longer in the Hermitage Museum’s inventory.

Humiliation
God grant us patience to bear Japanese ceremony and Russian caprices.
Hermann Ludwig von Löwenstern
