A two-sheet map of the Russian Empire, each with its own title, but with a joint title across the two sheets. It shows from Poland (which was partitioned by Russia, Prussian and Austria later in the year) and the Balkans east to Kamchatka and the Kuriles. What the map calls the 'adjacent coast of North America' is an amorphous peninsula stretching under the eastern limit of the Asian coastline. In the Pacific are many large islands, including Schouten's mythical 'Company's Land' and the confused Jesso/Hokkaido.
