EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - the "Map of Poltava in the early 18th-century". Created by an anonymous artist, this map provides a fascinating glimpse into the past. Found in the collection of the State Open-air Museum Battle of Poltava in Poltava, Ukraine, it is a testament to the enduring significance of this region. The map depicts a pivotal moment during the Great Northern War between Russia and Sweden. It vividly captures the action and intensity of battle with its intricate details. From cavalry charges to infantry formations, every aspect has been meticulously illustrated through copper engraving. At its center lies Poltava, where one can almost feel the tension that once permeated these lands. This was where Tsar Peter I led his Russian troops against Charles XII and his Swedish army. The outcome would shape European history forever. It is impossible not to be drawn into this historical narrative as we contemplate how such events unfolded on these very grounds centuries ago. As we examine this fine art image, we are reminded of both triumph and tragedy - for it was here that Russia achieved a decisive victory over Sweden. This print serves as a powerful reminder that maps are not merely geographical tools but also windows into our collective past. They allow us to explore significant moments in time and appreciate their impact on our present-day world.
