  • Karte Der Westlichen Mongolei zur Ubersicht der neuesten Russischen Reisen mit.....

    A tremendous map for what was one of the most remote parts of the world at the time. Showing most of Mongolia from its capital city in the east, Ulaanbaatar (here appears as "Urga"), up to the Russian city of Irkutsk and lake Baikal, stretches west through the high steppes. Amazing for its solid understanding of the terrain, roads and villages, and includes the routes of seven different explorers routes from 1820 up to 1870..

    Condition is very good with some light marginal foxing. Image size is 10 x 17 (inches).
