EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic map print, titled "General Map of Vilnius Province: Showing Postal and Major Roads, Stations and the Distance in Versts between Them," dates back to 1820. 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 Iwanoff. The map displays an intricate and detailed representation of Vilnius Province, which covered parts of present-day Lithuania and Belarus. The map's meticulousness is a testament to the extensive mapping efforts carried out by Russian military cartographers during the first quarter of the 19th century. The map includes various features such as population centers (indicated by six gradations based on size), postal stations, roads (classified into four types), state, provincial, and district borders, taverns, and customs outposts. Distances are measured in versts, a Russian unit of measurement now obsolete, equivalent to approximately 1.07 kilometers. Legends and place-names on the map are presented in both Russian and Polish, reflecting the multicultural makeup of the region during that time. The map's meticulous detail and historical significance make it an essential resource for researchers, historians, and anyone interested in the history of Eastern Europe during the Russian Empire era.
