EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century map print, titled "Etnograficheskai?a karta Azi¯i?a?tskoi? Rossi¯i" (Ethnographic Map of Asian Russia), is a testament to the rich history of cartography and ethnography in Russia during the 1870s. Created by renowned cartographer Mikhail Veniukov, this map offers a unique perspective on the diverse ethnic groups and territories that made up Asian Russia along the Pulkovo meridian. The map is a vibrant and intricate representation of Central Asia, with each region meticulously labeled in both Russian and Cyrillic scripts. The various territories are color-coded to indicate the dominant ethnic groups inhabiting each area, providing a visual representation of the meeting of frontiers between different cultures. The map's historical significance lies in its contribution to the fields of ethnography and anthropology. Veniukov's work was part of a larger scientific movement during the 19th century, as European powers sought to expand their knowledge of the world and its diverse populations. This map would have been an essential tool for scholars, policymakers, and explorers, offering valuable insights into the cultural and geographic complexities of Asia and Russia. Today, this precious artifact is housed in the Library of Congress, a testament to its enduring value as a historical and scientific resource. The map's intricate details and rich history make it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of cartography, ethnography, or the cultural and geographic landscapes of Asia and Russia during the 19th century.
