An excellent map of Russia North of the Caucasus Mountains, from the Black and Caspian Seas to somewhat past Moscow. Lots of settlement and topographical details offered, including the path of the mighty Volga River. Handsome cartouche.
Gilles Robert de Vaugondy (1688–1766) was one of the leading cartographers in France during the 18th century, along with his son Didier Robert de Vaugondy. Together, they published one of the most important atlases of the 18th century, "The Atlas Universel". In this atlas, old sources were verified and corrected by integrating innovations in astronomical observations, as well as modern longitues and latitudes.
