EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic map print, titled "General Map of Tula 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 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 60 maps of the Russian Empire. The map of Tula Province offers a detailed representation of the region during the early 19th century. It reflects the extensive mapping efforts carried out by Russian military cartographers, showcasing population centers, postal stations, roads, provincial and district borders, monasteries, and factories. The map employs six gradations to denote the size of population centers. The roads on the map are categorized into four types, and distances between locations are shown in versts, a Russian measure equal to 1.07 kilometers. The map also features legends and place-names in both Russian and French. This detailed and accurate representation of Tula Province is a testament to the meticulous work of Colonel Piadyshev and Faleleef during a time when cartography played a crucial role in expanding the knowledge of geography and territories within the Russian Empire.
