A New Map of the Russian Empire, divided into its Governments
Imprint: London, 1821

This map was published in John Cary's 'New Universal Atlas' first published in 1808. John Cary (c.1754-1835) was one of the most successful map and globe publishers of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Cary was the first map maker to use Greenwich as the meridian. The clarity of his style sets him apart from the competition. This is a later edition with the date in the imprint altered to 1821. Phillips 714 no. 37-8.
