Evert Isbrand Ides' embassy from the Russian Czar to Peking in 1693-95 provided Europeans with a detailed account of life in China, and his map provided an important account of the frontier settlements and topography of Northern Asia. Cartographically, the eastern coast is severely truncated, Coree is shown as a small island, and the Great Wall is depicted. The title cartouche is surrounded by a Russian and a Chinese man, with a dedication cartouche at top to Prince Peter Alexandrovich.
