Beschreibung

The title Karta zaseleniya chasti Primorskoy oblasti can be translated as the map of the settlement of a part of the Primorye region . Extremely rare map printed in Saint Petersburg after the Russo-Japanese war (1904-1905). After the emancipation reform in 1861, Primorye became one of the priority destinations for Russian peasants seeking land to live on. A major impact on the process of populating the Far East region was the building of the Trans-Siberian railway (finished in 1904, terminal part - in 1916). Due to the migration of workers and peasants in 1909, the population of the region grew to about 300,000 people. This map was made by the Resettlement Organization of Primorye, probably for the state resettlement program. It includes the Kamchatka region, even though the region had been allocated to a separate region in the same year. The map shows the lands planned for future settlements, church lands, Cossack lands, foreign settlements, indigenous villages, etc.  The scale is 1: 840,000 verst, 1 verst = 1.0668 km. Very rare copy. Not found in the catalog of the Russian State Library.    206 x 89 cm. 12 panels backed on linen. Lithography in 12 colors. Little damage on the creasings. Otherwise clean and bright copy. Near fine to fine condition. Comes with a custom-made slip case. Text in Russian. . Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 1193
