Description

A Scarce Imperial Russian City Plan

An attractive and unusual lithographed and color-printed plan of Moscow, published in Saint Petersburg in 1860.

The map was included as one of the two city plans in Nikita Ivanovich Zuev's superb color-printed atlas Подробный Атлас Российской Империи (A Detailed Atlas of the Russian Empire). The companion city plan was of Saint Petersburg and is titled Генеральный план столичного города C.Петербурга.

The color-coding and key at the bottom of the map label Moscow neighborhoods of the time.

This is a fairly early production to make use of such a diverse palette. However, the slight offset in the registration of the printed colors is indicative of color-printing, not hand-coloring.

Nikita Ivanovich Zuev

We can find little information about Zuev, although he clearly made important contributions to Russian map publishing. Phillips Atlases (3325) records his death in 1890, and ascribes to him another atlas Historical atlas for ancient, medieval and modern history (1867).

Condition Description

Although it was issued in Zuev's atlas, this example has patterns of folding and other physical hallmarks that indicate it was issued separately. A few clean splits and small tears. A small stain in the upper right quadrant. Withal, Very Good.
