Description
This is a grand map of the Russian Empire extending from Finland to Siberia and Tartary. The north and west of Siberia remain bit of a mistery to cartographers. For example, in this map Novaya Zemlya (Novelle Zemle) is shown connected to the mainland. Just below the Arctic Circle, the mountainous peninsula is shown with an unknown eastern coastline. This is likely the precursor for the Kamchatka Peninsula which is not shown in the map. The Caspian Sea is rather miss-shaped. The 'road' from Moscow to China is shown, as is the Great Wall of China in the lower right. The map is flanked by panels of French text with historical notes, the provincial coats-of-arms, and six medallions.
