In 1885, he accompanied George Kennan on a second trip to Siberia, during which time he painted several Siberian scenes. This trip was commissioned by "The Century Magazine", and Frost's drawings and photographs from that trip were also used to illustrate Kennan's book, "Siberia and the Exile System".
