This finely detailed late 17th-century map illustrates the vast expanse of the Russian Empire, extending from European Muscovy across the Ural Mountains into the remote territories of Siberia and Samojeda. Published during an era of intense northern European geographical exploration and imperial expansion under the Tsars, the map reflects early cartographic understandings of Northern Eurasia, including coastal configurations along the Arctic Ocean and the White Sea. Distinct regional designations such as Permia, Siberia, and Petzora mark the historical administrative and cultural divisions of the realm. The visual composition features precise line engraving complemented by hand-colored boundary outlines that delineate territories and river systems, including the Ob River basin. Mountain chains are rendered in traditional pictorial profile, and dense Latin nomenclature marks settlements, indigenous regions, and geographical features across the continent.
