Antique Map of Russia and Central Asia, showing the Northeast Passage
About the Item
Antique map titled 'Generalis Totius Imperii Moscovitici (..)'. Decorative map of Russia and Central Asia, showing the Northeast Passage. The map covers the entirety of the Russian Empire at the time, stretching from the Arctic Circle in the north to the "Oceanus Orientalis" and the northern parts China (Chinae Septentrionalis confinia), Mongolia and India in the south. Published by J.B. Homann, circa 1730.
Johann Baptist Homann was born 1664 in Oberkammlach. He founded his business 1702 in Nuremberg, Germany. After a long period of Dutch domination in map publishing, the Homann publishing house became the most important map and atlas producer in Germany. He became a member of the Academy of Science in Berlin just after he published his first atlas in 1707. After his death 1724 in Nuremberg, the company was continued by his son Johann Christoph. The publishing firm was bequeathed to his heirs after his death in 1730 and was traded under the name Homann Heirs until the next century.

The ikat style is not limited to Central Asia, but nowhere have the ikat designs known as abr, or the technique itself proved so enduring or so gloriously inventive as in the ancient centers of Uzbek and Tadjik handicrafts- Bukhara, Samrkand and the towns of the Ferghana Valley.
