Map of St Petersburg - not featured

•  Info created by C.M. Roth - uploaded by Balcer - nominated by Diligent. This 1734 map has difficulties being nominated and I find the 1776 map even more beautiful. Knowing Russia and her history, you have to love the reference to the exactness of the map, according to the archives of the Police... --Diligent 11:43, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

•  Support This a gorgeous map! What is the "original" the title in the cartouche is referring to? Alvesgaspar 16:36, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
  • probably, the original military map. One has to understand that maps had a high military value (acces to the city, location of arsenals, etc.) and their publication was, indeed, subject to approval. Better control the map and be the source (original) of what would be published than victim of an earnest and complete cartographer disclosing all details. Diligent
