EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic map print, titled "General Map of Ryazan Province: Showing Postal and Major Roads, Stations and the Distance in Versts between Them," was created in 1822 by Colonel Vasilii Petrovich Piadyshev and engraver Faleleef. The map is a 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), which contained sixty maps of the Russian Empire. Piadyshev and his team of military cartographers meticulously compiled and engraved this map, reflecting the detailed mapping efforts carried out during the first quarter of the 19th century. The map showcases the Ryazan Province with remarkable accuracy, highlighting population centers (indicated by six gradations based on size), postal stations, roads (distinguished by four types), provincial and district borders, monasteries, and factories. Distances between locations are denoted in versts, an ancient Russian measurement equivalent to 1.07 kilometers. The map's legends and place-names are presented in both Russian and French. This 1822 map offers a fascinating glimpse into the geography and infrastructure of Ryazan Province during a pivotal period in Russian history. The intricate details and comprehensive information presented on this map underscore the extensive research and cartographic expertise of Colonel Piadyshev and his collaborators. As an essential historical document, it provides valuable insights into the geography, transportation networks, and settlement patterns of the region during the early 19th century.
