Description
This attractive map of the Russian Empire was created in London by Thomas Kitchin around 1750. It shows the expansive territory, established just a few decades prior by Peter the Great, stretching from the Pacific Ocean to Scandinavia and Poland, with the new capital at St. Petersburg prominently noted on the Gulf of Finland.
Other settlements, geographic features, and regions are also labeled throughout. A large ‘Frozen Ocean’ in the north contains a compass rose and speculative coastline seen in 1723.
