About the Item
Antique Map of Eastern Europe – Russia, Ottoman Empire and Greece by Andriveau-Goujon, 1868
This detailed antique map titled “Carte de l’Europe Orientale, la Russie d’Europe, l’Empire Ottoman et la Grèce” was published in Paris in 1868 by E. Andriveau-Goujon. Issued as plate number 31 from the Atlas Universel, the map presents the eastern portion of the European continent at a time of significant geopolitical tension between the Russian and Ottoman Empires.
The map extends from the Gulf of Finland and the Baltic region in the north down to the northern part of the Mediterranean, including the Black Sea and parts of Asia Minor. It spans westward from present-day Poland, Hungary, and Austria, all the way east across Ukraine and into western Russia. The territories are hand-colored to distinguish the dominant empires and regions: the Russian Empire in green, the Ottoman-controlled Balkans in brown, and Greece in pale pink.
Major cities and trade centers are clearly labeled, including Saint Petersburg, Moscow, Kiev, Warsaw, Odessa, Bucharest, Constantinople (Istanbul), Athens, and Thessaloniki. Extensive road and river networks are finely engraved, and important geographic features such as the Carpathian and Balkan mountain ranges, the Danube River, and the Black Sea are prominently shown.
The map reflects a tense period in 19th-century Europe, with the weakening Ottoman grip on the Balkans and the growing influence of Russia in southeastern Europe. This was also a time of national awakenings and independence movements, particularly in the Balkans and among the Slavic peoples. The map offers valuable insight into the imperial boundaries and regional divisions just a decade before the Russo-Turkish War (1877–78) and the further fragmentation of Ottoman control in Europe.

Framing tips: A dark wood or antique gold frame with an ivory mat is ideal. A pale green or rust-colored inner mat can subtly draw out the imperial colors and enhance the period look.

Ric.r032
Russian Empire. Description: This is an 1814 John Thomson map of the Russian Empire. The map depicts the region from the Baltic Sea, Prussia, and Sweden to the Aleutian Islands and from the Arctic Ocean to the Yellow River. Highly detailed, myriad cities, towns, and villages are labeled throughout, including St. Petersburg, Moscow, Minsk, Kiev, and Kharkov. Rivers and mountain ranges are also identified, as are islands and numerous locations along the coastlines. It is important to note that the long-disputed sea between Korea and Japan is identified as the 'Sea of Japan.
Historical Context:
In 1815, Tsarist Russia emerged from the Napoleonic Wars economically insolvent and politically fearful of the Revolutionary fervor that had just swept through Europe. In order to shore up Russia's economic position, the Tsars began an aggressive series of expansions into the Caucuses and Central Asia that would vastly increase the landmass of the Russian Empire.
