Beautiful map showing the European reach of the Russian Empire at this point in time. The map is bordered by Norway in the east and Kazan in the west with Moscow at the far south of the map. This example was printed on an unusual, blue-toned paper that is occasionally seen in French printmaking from this period. Engraved by Tardieu.
