1784 Russian Discoveries in Siberia, Alaska & the Bering Strait - Gerhard Friedrich Muller "Nouvelle Carte des Decouvertes Faites par des Vaisseaux Russiens Aux Cotes Inconnues de L'Amerique Septentrionale avec Les Pais Adiacents" is a seminal map by Gerhard Friedrich Muller, showcasing Russian discoveries in Siberia, Alaska, and the Bering Strait region. Originally published in 1754, this map served as a direct counter to Guillaume de L'Isle's speculative "fantasy" map of the same area, which prominently featured the fictitious Mer de l'Ouest (Sea of the West). This edition, published in 1784 by the Imperial Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg, reflects the substantial geographic knowledge gained through Russian explorations, particularly the voyages of Vitus Bering. It accurately depicts the northern Pacific coasts, focusing on Siberia, the Aleutian Islands, and the Alaskan coast. The hand-coloring remains vibrant, emphasizing key geographic details, and a richly decorated rococo cartouche adorns the upper right, indicating the map's origins. This map is a significant artifact, illustrating the progression of cartographic accuracy and the influence of Russian expeditions in shaping the early knowledge of the North Pacific and Arctic regions. The 1784 edition of Gerhard Friedrich Muller's map features the routes of key Russian voyages that explored the North Pacific, specifically those related to the exploration of Siberia, Alaska, and the Bering Strait. These include: 1. Vitus Bering's Voyages (1728 and 1741) - The map shows routes of Vitus Bering, a Danish explorer in the Russian Navy, who led two important expeditions: - During his first Kamchatka Expedition (1728), Bering navigated through what is now known as the Bering Strait, proving that Siberia and Alaska were separated by a sea. - His second Kamchatka Expedition (1741) extended further eastward to Alaska. This journey greatly expanded European knowledge of the northern Pacific and confirmed Alaska as part of the North American continent. 2. Aleksei Chirikov's Route (1741) - As part of the second Kamchatka Expedition, Aleksei Chirikov, who was Bering's second-in-command, led a separate ship and reached the Alaskan coast, discovering the southeastern parts of Alaska and providing further detailed knowledge of the area. 3. Russian Navigators in the Aleutian Islands - The map also shows the exploration routes in and around the Aleutian Islands, which were instrumental for Russian fur...

This fascinating serio-comic map was created by John Henry Amschewitz and published in December 1914, at the beginning of WWI. Amschewitz was a British born artist who was unable to enlist for war service due to an injury he sustained while working on a mural project in Liverpool. Instead Amschewitz focused on his interests in art and theater, themes which are apparent in this map and even the title itself: European Revue. The eagle refers of course to Germany, which has its claw on Marianne's bayonet, while its other claw is being pulled by the Russian bear...
