EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic map print, titled "General Map of Moscow Province: Showing Postal and Major Roads, Stations and the Distance in Versts between Them," dates back to 1821. The map was created by Colonel Vasilii Petrovich Piadyshev and engraver Faleleef as part of 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). This atlas contained 60 maps of the Russian Empire and was a testament to the detailed mapping efforts carried out by Russian military cartographers in the early 19th century. The map showcases the Moscow Province, located near the western border of present-day Russia. It illustrates population centers, six gradations in size, postal stations, roads of four types, state, provincial, and district borders, factories, and monasteries. Distances are denoted in versts, a Russian measurement now obsolete, equivalent to 1.07 kilometers. The map's legends and place-names are in both Russian and French. This detailed and intricately designed map offers a glimpse into the geographical knowledge and cartographic capabilities of the Russian Empire during the early 19th century. It serves as an essential historical document, providing valuable information about the region's infrastructure, settlement patterns, and administrative divisions during that time.
