EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic map print, titled "General Map of Chernigov Province: Showing Postal and Major Roads, Stations and the Distance in Versts between Them," was created by Colonel Vasilii Petrovich Piadyshev and engraver Faleleef in 1821. The map is a part of a 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 sixty maps of the Russian Empire. The meticulously detailed map of Chernigov Province reflects the extensive mapping efforts carried out by Russian military cartographers during the first quarter of the 19th century. The map showcases population centers, graded by size, postal stations, roads (with four distinct types), state, provincial, and district borders, factories, monasteries, and taverns. Distances are denoted in versts, a Russian unit of measurement now obsolete, equivalent to approximately 1.07 kilometers. The map's legends and place-names are presented in both Russian and French. The territory depicted on the map lies within present-day northeastern Ukraine and southwestern Russia. This intricately crafted map offers a fascinating glimpse into the geography and infrastructure of the region during the Russian Empire era. Colonel Piadyshev's expertise as a cartographer is evident in the precise representation of topographical features, making this map an essential resource for historians, geographers, and anyone interested in the historical geography of Eastern Europe.
