Iakovlev was a Russian-born artist specialized in subjects he encountered on his numerous travels. He became artistic advisor to two Citroen motoring expeditions, this being the second from 1931 to 1932 from Beirut to China, led by Georges-Marie Haardt (portrayed on the first plate), who died of pneumonia upon completion in Hongkong. Along the route from Lebanon into China Iakovleff sketched different types of people, from Sheikh Sattam of the Haddadin (a Christian Arab tribe) of Palmyra, Kurds of Iraq and Persia, a Chaldean woman from Baghdad, Iranians, Afghans, a Turkic man from Herat, people of the Northwest Frontier, and the Pamir mountain range, where the expedition crossed a pass at over 4800 meters altitude, which set the world altitude record for cars. The expedition then descended into Chinese Turkestan, the Gobi desert and finally to the border region of Vietnam and China, especially Tonkin, with the Russian artist constantly drawing the changing ethnicities and their traditional costumes. Several of the portraits were signed by the sitters which adds immediacy to the drawings.
