EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic map print, titled "General Map of Kherson Province: Showing Postal and Major Roads, Stations and the Distance in Versts between Them," dates back to 1821. It is an extract from the larger work, "Geograficheskii atlas Rossiiskoi imperii, tsarstva Pol'skogo i velikogo kniazhestva Finliandskogo" (Geographical atlas of the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Poland, and the Grand Duchy of Finland), which contained 60 maps of the Russian Empire. The map was compiled and engraved by Colonel Vasilii Petrovich Piadyshev and Faleleef. The map provides a detailed representation of Kherson Province in present-day southern Ukraine during the first quarter of the 19th century. It showcases various population centers, six gradations in size, postal stations, roads of four types, provincial and district borders, monasteries, factories, taverns, and customs houses. The distances between these locations are indicated in versts, a Russian measure that equated to approximately 1.07 kilometers. The map's legends and place-names are presented in both Russian and French, reflecting the multinational character of the Russian Empire during that period. The meticulous work carried out by Russian military cartographers is evident in the level of detail captured in this map, offering a fascinating glimpse into the geography and infrastructure of the region over 200 years ago.
