Geographical and Statistical Map of Russia

This highly unique map was made by C. V. Lavoisne and published by John Satchell, London 1830. This map was originally published in “Lavoisnes Complete Genealogical, Historical, Chronological, and Geographical Atlas”. This a later atlas that is becoming very difficult to find. All maps have original hand coloring and are copper plate engravings. Special to these maps is the fascinating blocks of text surrounding the map. This text discusses many of the following topics; division and population, list of counties, principal towns and populations, natural character, language, literature, commerce, manufactures, climate, soil, produce, natural history, seas, lakes, rivers, canals, mountains, government, religion, languages, learning, islands, games, battles and sieges, colonies, sea ports, and many other topics. The map it self is very detailed showing cities and towns, lakes and rivers, common roads, mountains, and canals. A wonderful map, full of history!’
