1785 RUSSIAN EMPIRE Discoveries between Asia and North America antique MAP

THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE in EUROPE & ASIA
With the Northern Discoveries between Asia and North America

By Thomas Bowen



London: Bankes's New System of Universal Geography; c.1785

This uncommon map covers the whole of the Russian Empire but emphasizes the Asian regions.
Particular attention is focused on the recent discoveries in the Bering Sea (here labeled Sea of Kamtschatka).
An island archipelago appears off Kamtschatka that is likely part of the Aleutian Islands, but they are placed too close to the Asian continent.
Novaya Zemlya is shown as a single large island.
