Description
A rare Russian, copper engraved map of north America. Based on the second state of the Janvier/Lattre map.
It includes the results of Captain Cooks discoveries on America's west coast and in Alaska, although Greenland still appears connected to the Continent. The recently independent United States are shown.
This Cyrillic version of the map appeared in one of the first world atlases published in Russia; "Novy Atlas, ili sobranie kart ..." which translates as "New Atlas or a collection of Maps of All Parts of the Globe Obtained from Various Compilers and printed in St.Petersburg in 1793 by the Mining School for the Use of Youths".
