Description
Pinkerton's extraordinary 1818 map of Russia in Europe. Covers the European portions of Russia between Prussia and the Ural Mountains. Extends north to the Arctic and south as far as the Crimea and Black Sea. Offers considerable detail with political divisions and color coding at the regional level. Identifies cities, towns, castles, important battle sites, castles, swamps, mountains and river ways. Title plate in the lower right quadrant. Two mile scales, in Russian Versts and British Statute Miles, also appear in the lower right quadrant. Drawn by L. Herbert and engraved by Samuel Neele under the direction of John Pinkerton. This map comes from the scarce American edition of Pinkerton’s Modern Atlas, published by Thomas Dobson & Co. of Philadelphia in 1818.
