Description: 1906 (Dated) Genuine Engraved Color MapRussiaSatisfaction GuarantedThis is an authentic 1906 map--NOT a recent reproduction This color map of Russia is dated 1906 on the face. It was engraved and printed by the L.L. Poates Engraving Company, New York, to accompany a set of reference material published between 1906 and 1910. Major Cities, Canals, Rivers, Lakes, and other Topographical features are located on this map. Major railroads are shown in red.There is also an inset map of St. Petersburg.The map is printed on medium-weight paper, blank on the reverse, and with a fold in the center (as issued). The full sheet size is 12 5/8" x 9.75", and the printed portion is about 10.5" x 8.5" with blank margins of between 1/2" to 1" all the way around to allow convenient matting.This is a very attractive older map and would look beautiful matted and framed. If you want an authentic map showing the region as it was over 110 years ago, this is a good one.The copyright date of "COPYRIGHT, 1906, by Dodd, Mead & Co." appears on the face of this map, just below the border in the lower-right corner. Just above this statement, there appears another "1906." This indicates that the map was copyrighted and printed by the engravers the same year as the printed reference material with which it was published.A Note on Lithography: One of the delightful and interesting results of the engraving and ink transfer process in lithography is that there can be variants of the maps which look slightly different when compared side-by-side, even though they were produced by the same engraved plates on the same press. This may be a result of additional passes by one color or another, subtle differences in the ink tone, varying pressure from the pressing of the plates, slight variation in the position of each color plate, or other choices made by the engravers or the printers. The result is that each map's appearance is truly unique.The images below give a fairly accurate representation of this map.1) The first image shows the map cropped without its full margins. The full, blank margins are actually between 1/2" and 1" all the way around. 2) The second image is a close-up to show the quality and detail of the engraving. One or more of the following copyright statements appear on the face of this map (see description above for the precise date(s). Condition: Excellent: As shown, with no tears or marks.
