"A Plan of the City of Moscow", Kitchin, Thomas

This is a handsome and detailed bird's-eye plan of Moscow. The city is situated at the junction of the Moskva and Neglinnaya Rivers, which form a moat protecting all but the northeast flank of the Kremlin. The map shows the Kremlin and old city, Kitay-gorod, at center. These are surrounded by successive rings of fortifications. A key at right locates 17 important sites within the city. Published by T. Cadell in the Strand.
