- Description: In April 1889, Mikhail Asseyev embarked on a journey from Lubny, Russia, to the newly-constructed Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. He journeyed with two mares, Diana, an Anglo-Don, and Vlaga, a Novorossisski. Asseyev traveled "à la Turkmène" – meaning he rode one horse in the morning and the other in the afternoon, with the led horse being completely unburdened. For, as all Long Riders understand, the horse's enemy is not the miles but the weight. Using this method, Asseyev averaged 100 kilometers a day. After traveling more than 3'000 kilometers, upon arriving at the Eiffel Tower with his two mares, the Society for the Protection of Animals awarded him a special gold medal, as his horses were in excellent condition

- Inscriptions-Iscrizioni-Inscriptions: A piedi intorno al mondo - Carlo Auer, studente di scienze commerciali, maestro onorario dei perlustratori portoghesi, da 23 mesi in cammino, 18'500 chilometri già percorsi. Desideroso di conoscere e di studiare il commercio, l'industria e l'agricoltura del mondo intero, la vita sociale e nazionale dei diversi popoli, ho cominciato il 2 marzo 1923, partendo dalla città di Graz (Austria), questo viaggio per una durata di sette anni. Ho attraversato l'Austria, la Jugoslavia, l'Italia, la Francia meridionale, tutta la Spagna, il Portogallo, il Marocco Spagnuolo, la Corsica. Continuerò il mio viaggio per il sud dell'Italia e i Balcani. Soltanto dalla vendita del mio ritratto io traggo sussidi, come pure dai doni che mi possono venir fatti dalle autorità, dai consolati ed altri analoghi organismi, ai quali sempre mi presento per il controllo del mio viaggio
