Complete set of ten maps detailing European Russia. This is perhaps the most comprehensive set of maps of the region published in the early nineteenth century. The first map in the set also includes the northern provinces of Sweden and Norway. The detail on these maps is amazing. Published by Baldwin and Cradock.
