This handsome map of Russia shows the empire's European extent in the early nineteenth century, in the immediate aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars. The map spans from the Baltic states east to Siberia, and from the southern shore of Novaya Zemlya south to Crimea. It provides excellent data on cities, towns, political divisions, roads, and topography. Engraved by J. Moffat.
