Very good. Margin reinstated at lower right corner with no impact on image. Faint offsetting, else very bright and sharp. Size 15 x 10.5 Inches. This is a superbly detailed chart of the Volga River, engraved by John Gibson in 1753, produced for inclusion in Jonas Hanway's An Historical Account of the British Trade Over the Caspian Sea. It relies on details provided Hanway by sources in the Russian Academy in St. Petersburg. In composing the map, Gibson has solved the problem of displaying a long, meandering river in detail by framing the map in three sections, adding a fourth general map to indicate how the detail maps connect. A General View of the Volga , positioned in the lower right quadrant of the sheet, shows the full length of the Volga from its source to the Caspian Sea with the letters 'A' and 'B' marking the points where the corresponding positions on the detail maps connect. Joining the Don and Volga Rivers One fascinating detail is the clear depiction of the Don-Volga Portage and its forts, pictured connecting the River Don and the River Volga at those rivers' nearest navigable point near Tsaritsyn (Volgograd / Stalingrad). The significance of this route extends through history: settlements along the Don-Volga Portage go back more than 2400 years. The Ottoman Empire may have attempted a canal there as early as the sixteenth century, although that project was abandoned. Eventually the region fell within the borders of the expanding Russian Empire, and Peter the Great made efforts to connecting the two rivers. Abortive attempts at canalizing the portage began as early as 1696 following the Russian capture of Azov, but were abandoned following the 1711 return of that fortress to the Ottomans. Railways were be built along the Portage in the 19th century but a modern canal linking the Don and the Volga was not be completed until 1952. Peter the Great's attempt to connect the upper Don and Volga far upriver at Yepifan were impractical due to the shallowness of the rivers. (The city, spelled Epifan, appears at the uppermost reach of the Don on the 'general' inset but is too remote to be included in any of the main maps.) The Petrov Val canal between the Don and Volga tributaries Ilovlya and Kamyshinka, operated with some success from 1702 until its abandonment in 1709. It is shown here (as the Kamyshinka River) emptying into the Volga near Dmitrowsk (Kamyshin). Publication History and Census The chart was engraved by John Gibson in 1753 for inclusion in Jonas Hanway's An Historical Account of the British Trade over the Caspian Sea. We are aware of three editions of the work, this example appeared in the third. We see eight examples of the complete work in institutional collections. We see only one example of this map catalogued in OCLC, at the National Library of Scotland. References: OCLC 316563998.

By: Ptolemy/MercatorDate: 1698 (Published)AmsterdamDimensions: 14 x 17.8 inches (35.6 x 45.2 cm)This fascinating map illustrates the extent to which Mercator (based on Ptolemy) was correct in his depictions of various regions included in his work. This map of Western Asia compares remarkably favorably with modern-day satellite images of the region, and includes ancient names of peoples, places and kingdoms.The ancient Persian kingdom of Sarmatia is the focal point of the map. At its zenith the kingdom covered vast territories reaching as far north as the Baltic, with areas around the Black Sea extending to the west into modern-day Ukraine and stretching east to the region north of the Caspian. Examples of modern-day places that wholly or partially fall within the borders of the old Sarmatian territory are the south-eastern and central parts of Ukraine, parts of southern Russia and along the Volga, southern Ural, some smaller parts of north-eastern Balkans, and around Moldova.The Sarmatians are described by ancient historians as sharing many features with the Scythians, from their horsemanship to their artistic prowess with gold. Described as fair-haired and light-skinned by ancient writers, they are known to have traded foodstuffs (grains) with ancient Greece and ultimately to have conquered the Scythians. Sarmatian women were said to be fierce warriors and skilled huntresses who in infancy were subject to removal of the left breast in order to enable them to fight more effectively. The women could not marry till they had killed three enemies in battle and completed specific religious rites. Contents of their tombs confirm much of what was written of them in antiquity.The map is beautifully engraved and embellished with a lovely cartouche and an interesting scene of nomadic life in the steppes. Two marble columns labeled the 'Columns of Alexander' are featured near a region labeled 'Amazones'. The existence and provenance of the columns is documented in the travel journal of 19th century explorer Edward Daniel Clarke, who wrote of their having been moved from their original position in Asiatic Samartia (as described by Ptolemy) to a property of a Russian military commander in the region, a certain General Orlof. Their whereabouts at the present time is unknown.Condition: This intriguing map is in A+ condition.Inventory #113631200 W. 35th Street #425 Chicago, IL 60609 | P: (312) 496 - 3622.

Very good. Minor foxing at places. Blank on verso. Size 9.5 x 8 Inches. This is a fine example of Thomas Ewing's 1845 map of European Russia. It depicts the European portions of Russia from the Arctic Sea south to the Black Sea and Caspian Sea, and extending west as far as Poland and east as far as Orenburg and Perm, inclusive of the Ukraine. Various towns, rivers, cities, mountains and several other topographical details are noted with relief shown by hachure. When this map was printed, Russia was ruled by Tsar Nicholas I who adopted the doctrine of 'Orthodoxy, Autocracy, and Nationality' and was known to be one of the most reactionary monarchs in Russia. In 1825, Russian army officers, called the Decembrists, protested against Nicholas I's ascension to the throne. The Decembrists, so named because their revolt started in December, favored Nicholas I's brother, Constantine, who seemed amenable to a British style constitutional monarchy. When Constantine abdicated the throne in 1825, the Decembrists refused to accept the more autocratic rule of Nicholas I. Had Constantine not abdicated and the Decembrists been successful, the bloody Bolshevik Revolution may never have occurred. This map was published in 1845 by Oliver and Boyd as part of Ewing's New General Atlas .

Very good. Minor overall toning. Some offsetting. Blank on verso. Minor wear over original centerfold. Size 10 x 8 Inches. This is a fine example of Samuel Butler's 1822 map of Russia.

In 1825, shortly after this map was drawn, Russian army officers, called the Decembrists, protested against Nicholas I's ascension to the throne. The Decembrists (so named because their revolt started in December), favored Nicholas I's brother, Constantine, who seemed amenable to a British style constitutional monarchy.

Though Belgium had successfully made itself independent, the Netherlands refused to recognize the new country until the 1839 Treaty of London. Meanwhile Scandinavia and Denmark at the time were in the midst of a prolonged period of peace and prosperity that led to a cultural and economic boom.

Very good. Minor overall toning and spotting. Size 8.5 x 11 Inches. This is an attractive 1952 map of Russia in Asia by Joseph Meyer. It covers the Russian Empire in Asia east from the Ural Mountains as far as Kamchatka and Alaska, including parts of the Chinese Empire and European Russia. Throughout, the map identifies cities, towns, rivers and assortment of additional topographical details. During this time in Russia, around 1825, Russian army officers, called the Decembrists, protested against Nicholas I's ascension to the throne. They were however defeated and some were exiled to Siberia. There, against all odds, the Decembrists thrived making significant contributions to the cultural and economic growth of Siberia. In 1856, when the Decembrists received amnesty, only some returned to European Russia. This map was issued in Meyer's Zeitung Atlas . Although all the maps in this atlas are not individually dated, the title page and maps were often updated while the imprint with the date was not, causing confusion to the exact date for some of the maps. Moreover some maps in the atlas were taped in at a later date as an update to the atlas. We have dated the maps in this collection to the best of our ability.
