HOMANN, J. B. Tabula Geographica qua Pars Russiae Magnae, Pontus Euxinus seu Mare Nigrum et Tartaria Minor.. Nürnberg, c. 1720.
Hand-coloured engraved map with large cartouche with several putti and the Russian coat of arms, c. 585 x 490 mm.
Map of the region bordering the Black Sea depicts present-day Ukraine and extends to include Constantinople in the south and north to Moscow and Smolensko.
Reissue of a map made by Major General George Mengden and Earl Yakov Bruce based on Russian Army routes during the Azov campaign of Peter I in 1695-96. The plate went through several revisions with this version removing the portrait and dedication to Peter I and adding the newly built Volga-Don canal (Canalis Perevoloc) just below the cartouche. This is the first state of the Homann edition (after 1715 his privilege was added to the cartouche).
Bought at Stafsund (Klinckowström, Sweden), 31/10, 1966, no. 2308.
