Nikolai Karamzin in his " Letters of a Russian Traveler " (1791-1792) describes a visit to the Greenwich Hospital , an invalid home for former sailors:
All the interior decorations of the house are related to navigation: globes at the door, a compass in the dome; here Evreux flies from the east and drives the morning star from heaven; here Auster , surrounded by clouds and lightning, pours water; Marshmallow throws flowers to the ground; Borea , waving dragon wings, sprinkles snow and hail.
