Russia in Asia, Tukestan, &c.

(Asia, Russian Empire, Turkestan, Ural Mountains, Aral Sea, Bukhara, Soghdia).

Issued 1883, London by Letts.

Scarce late 19th century color lithographed map. A later re-issue of the SDUK maps originally printed some 40 years prior. Note the shifting political boundaries, seen in a combination that is short-lived and transitory.

Of particular modern interest for the key, which notes unusual features such as consulate locations, ruins and light houses, categories not typically found on maps of this era or region.

Well preserved, clean, nice looking example.

Sheet Measures c. 17 1/8" H x 14" W.
