EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 1827 map print depicts the General Map of the Russian Empire and the neighboring Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Grand Duchy of Finland. Created by Russian military cartographers Vasilii Petrovich Piadyshev and Ieremin, this map is part of a larger work, Geograficheskii atlas Rossiiskoi imperii, tsarstva Pol'skogo i velikogo kniazhestva Finliandskogo (Geographical atlas of the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Poland, and the Grand Duchy of Finland), which contains 60 maps of the Russian Empire. The map reflects the detailed mapping efforts carried out by the Russian military during the first quarter of the 19th century. It covers a vast area from the Baltic Sea in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east, including present-day Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and parts of northern Europe and Siberia. The map is rich in detail, with clear labels and a key indicating distances in versts between major cities and towns. The meeting of frontiers between the Russian Empire and its neighbors is clearly marked, highlighting the complex political landscape of the time. The map also includes Alaska, which was then part of the Russian Empire. The use of color and shading adds depth and visual interest to the map, making it a valuable historical and cartographic resource. This map is a testament to the advances in cartography during the 19th century and the efforts of Russian military cartographers to accurately map their vast empire. Today, it is a precious addition to the collections of libraries and institutions, including the Library of Congress and the Congressional Research Service, and a reminder of the rich historical and geographical heritage of Russia and its neighbors.
