This handsome map spans from Moscow and the Caucasus past Chinesian Tartary to the ill-defined eastern edge of the continent, simply labeled Parts Unknown. Place names, deserts, and topographical details dot the landscape. The Caspian Sea is shown in a squat configuration with a conjectural coastline to the north and east, and Pekin and the Great Wall of China appear in the southeast corner of the map. The coastline of Nova Zembla is incomplete. Much of the northeastern part of the continent is still unexplored, with a strictly conjectural coastline from Nova Zembla to Tungur R. (the Tungir). Engraved in Moll's fine, distinctive style.
