John Cary’s handsome map of the Russian Empire, from the Baltic to the Pacific. Cary was considered 'the most representative, able and prolific of English cartographers'. Tooley says, 'As an engraver he was elegant and exact with fine clear lettering and great delicacy of touch'.
Very good condition, minimal offsetting.
