EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic map print, titled "General Map of Tambov 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 comprised 60 maps of the Russian Empire. The map was compiled and engraved by Colonel Vasilii Petrovich Piadyshev and Ieremin. The meticulously detailed map of Tambov Province showcases the extensive mapping efforts carried out by Russian military cartographers during the first quarter of the 19th century. The map includes population centers, categorized into seven gradations based on size, postal stations, roads of four types, provincial and district borders, monasteries, and factories. Distances are denoted in versts, a Russian unit of measurement, now obsolete, equivalent to approximately 1.07 kilometers. Legends and place-names are inscribed in both Russian and French, reflecting the international reach and influence of the Russian Empire during that period. The map offers a fascinating glimpse into the geography, infrastructure, and administrative divisions of Tambov Province during the early 19th century. This rare and intriguing piece of cartographic history is a testament to the meticulous work of Colonel Piadyshev and Ieremin and the extensive mapping endeavors of the Russian military during that era.
