RARE ATLAS OF THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE. The atlas consists of 30 maps showing the Russian Empire’s divisional governorships. It reflects the boundaries established after the provincial reform of Catherine the Great in 1775-1785. The atlas was first published in 1792 and supplemented later in 1793-1795. The purpose of the atlas was to give a spatial description of the empire and its natural conditions, with each map bearing a large cartouche illustrating scenes emblematic of the region.
