Traveling through the Russian Empire in the mid-19th century: A journey through time with these historic maps. Explore the extensive network of postal stations across provinces such as Kaluga, Poltava, Ekaterinoslav, Chernigov, Kharkiv, Vladimir, Kursk, Tver, Novgorod, and Bessarabia, as depicted in these detailed maps created between 1821 and 1862 by Vasilii Petrovich Piadyshev and various collaborators. The maps not only illustrate the major roads and postal stations but also provide a glimpse into the geography and administrative divisions of the empire during this period. Mikhail Znamensky's image of a postal station adds a personal touch to this historical exploration, transporting us back in time to an era of horse-drawn carriages and the thrill of receiving a letter from afar.
