Original antique Russia in Asia map. This vintage map comes from the rare 1st edition of Finley's New General Atlas of 1824. Published by Anthony Finley, engraved by Young and Delleker and printed by Jos. Perkins in Philadelphia. This particular Atlas is one of a few that were also bound with Finley's Atlas Classica of 1818. "This atlas was first issued in 1824, with editions published annually to 1834. Each succeeding year new maps were added and others updated" (Rumsey). "Not much is known of Anthony Finley, other than his published work but he was probably born around 1790. Judging from contributors to his atlases, he apparently moved in the same Philadelphia circles of engravers and compilers as other contemporary publishers" (Ristow, p.268) such as Tanner and Mitchell. A beautiful old map for ones collection or display in home or office.
