EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic map print, titled "General Map of Yaroslavl Province: Showing Postal and Major Roads, Stations and the Distance in Versts between Them," was created in 1822 by Colonel Vasilii Petrovich Piadyshev and Ieremin. The map is a part of a 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 contained sixty maps of the Russian Empire. The map offers a detailed representation of Yaroslavl Province during the first quarter of the 19th century, showcasing the meticulous work carried out by Russian military cartographers. The map includes various population centers, six gradations in size, postal stations, roads (four types), provincial and district borders, monasteries, and factories. Distances are indicated in versts, a Russian measure now no longer used, equal to approximately 1.07 kilometers. The map's legends and place-names are written in both Russian and French. This bilingual feature reflects the multinational character of the Russian Empire during this period. The map's focus on postal stations and major roads highlights the importance of communication and transportation infrastructure during this time. Colonel Vasilii Petrovich Piadyshev and Ieremin's work demonstrates the extensive cartographic knowledge and detail that was being compiled and engraved during the early 19th century. This map serves as an essential historical document, providing valuable insights into the geography, infrastructure, and administrative divisions of Yaroslavl Province during this period.
