Chiquet’s Map of Muscovy

Estats du Grand Duc de Moscovie ou de l’Empereur de la Russie Blanche

This map of Muscovy, or European Russia, was published in Chiquet’s ‘Le nouveau et curieux atlas géographique et historique ...’.

Chiquet (1673-1721) was a relatively successful Parisian engraver, print- and map-seller. He published Antoine Menard’s ‘Le nouveau et curieux atlas’ in 1711, and reprinted it with Menard’s name burnished from the plate and replaced with his own and a new date, 1719, as here.
