Catalogue Note
"It is to be regretted that Strahlenberg's map has so far not been studied to any large extent. After Remezov, it is the second most important source of historical geographical information about Siberia. Yet it did not have a great influence on maps of the following period and, in a way, stands apart" (Bagrow).
Although intended to be included in Stahlenberg's memoir, this example was issued separately and examples are thus often in poorish condition.
