Imperial map of Northern Russia with Archangel, Lapland, and Permia, c.1730
Description:
This intricately engraved and hand-colored map presents the northern reaches of the Russian Empire as it was known in the early 18th century. Created by Matthäus Seutter of Augsburg, one of the leading German mapmakers of the period, the map is titled *Mappae Imperii Moscovitici pars Septentrionalis*, or “Map of the Northern Part of the Muscovite Empire.”
The composition focuses on the regions from St. Petersburg and Ingria in the west to the Ural regions of Perm and Yugoria in the east. The map also includes parts of Lapland, the White Sea (labeled Mare Album or Biar More), and the coastlines of the Barents Sea (Mare Moscoviticum). Important geographic features such as Lacus Onega and Ladoga are finely rendered, as are major rivers like the Dvina and the Northern Dvina.
Seutter divides the territory into color-coded regions such as Regio Czarn, Permia, Jugoria, and Tzernia, reflecting administrative and historical divisions within the empire. Cities including Archangel (Archangelsk), Novgorod, and Vologda are marked, while dense forests and mountain ranges are illustrated using fine hachuring techniques and symbolic trees.
The cartouche in the upper right corner is decorated in classical baroque style with scrollwork, flags, and figures, flanked by a heraldic crest and a depiction of trading ships—emphasizing the region’s commercial and imperial importance. This map is printed in Latin, underscoring its intended audience of learned European elites.
What makes this print especially appealing is its blend of scientific ambition and artistic flourish. It captures a region that was still largely mysterious to Western Europeans in the 18th century, offering insight into how the Russian north was perceived and mapped by German scholars and cartographers.
Condition:
Fair condition. Original hand coloring is well-preserved with minimal age toning. Central fold with water staining; some paper waviness and discoloration present. Study the images carefully.
Framing tips:
For best presentation, consider a dark wood or black frame with a linen or neutral mat to draw attention to the map’s subtle coloring. The ornate cartouche would benefit from generous spacing to let it stand out visually. Use UV-protective glass to safeguard the hand-applied color. Given the map’s vertical orientation and historical interest, it’s ideal for a study, library, or gallery wall focused on exploration and empire.
