| CONTENT: | (Map 2 of 3) This map – showing the more easterly routes – gives a good understanding of the complex networks of the 18th century Russian expeditions. Whilst Johan Peter Falk’s original edition, illustrated the same map in a black and white engraving. This map and other coloured engravings were originally used in a rare book of the same edition, presented circa 1786-1796 to Catherine II (the Great) the Emperor of Russia, today kept in the Russian State Library in Moscow. These and many other contemporary watercolours have recently been researched and published in the book about M.V. Lomonosov and the Academic expeditions during the 18th century in Russia by O. A. Aleksandrovskaya, V.A. Shirokova and associated researchers in 2011/2014. In 2016, they kindly put their research notes and high-resolution images at the disposal for several of IK’s research projects in the Bridge Builder Expeditions enterprise – linked to Falk and his travels in Russia during the 1760s and 1770s. Notice: see two other maps (Add Knowledge) linked to these expeditions on the previous and next page. |
