This pair of elegantly engraved Italian maps appeared in Bartolomeo Borghi's Atlante Geografico. The first map centers on the Archangelgorod Governorate. It covers from St. Petersburg and Lake Ladoga east to the border with Siberia, extending north to show part of Novaya Zemlya. The second map focuses on the governorates of Moscow, Novogorod, and Kazan. Both maps include fine details of towns and cities, political divisions, and watershed. They are decorated with decorative title cartouches. Engraving on the first map is credited to Giovanni Silvestrini; no engraver is credited on the second.
