EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic map print, titled "General Map of Kursk Province: Showing Postal and Major Roads, Stations and the Distance in Versts between Them," dates back to 1822. It is an extract from 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 consisted of 60 maps of the Russian Empire. The map was compiled and engraved by Colonel Vasilii Petrovich Piadyshev and Ieremin. The map provides an intricate depiction of Kursk Province during the early 19th century. It reflects the meticulous mapping efforts carried out by Russian military cartographers during this period. The map includes population centers, graded by size, postal stations, roads (with four distinct types), provincial and district borders, forts, monasteries, and factories. Distances are indicated in versts, a Russian measurement now obsolete, equivalent to approximately 1.07 kilometers. The map's legends and place-names are in both Russian and French, reflecting the multilingual nature of the Russian Empire during this time. This detailed and accurate representation of Kursk Province offers a fascinating glimpse into the geography and infrastructure of Russia during the early 19th century. The map's historical significance lies in its meticulous compilation and the extensive information it provides on the region's topography, transportation networks, and settlements.
