I know nothing about this map, but find it beautiful.
If you can help with any backstory, or any translation, I'd love to hear it.
Update: slawkenbergius provides some useful info in the comments section, below. I'm looking forward to reading more.
@slawkenbergius:
What does укръпленнаго exactly mean?
I couldn’t find the term in any online dictionary…
THX
[WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us ’0 which is not a hashcash value.
It means “fortified” (укрепленный). That letter isn’t a hard sign, it’s a ять, so it’s pronounced “е.”
The legend at right indicates gardens, buildings, vineyards, etc. I’m not actually sure where the troops are supposed to be, though.
Great info, there, slawkenbergius. I’m looking forward to researching this more.
This is a map of the 1865 blockade and capture of the city of Tashkent by forces under the command of General Mikhail Cherniaev–part of the Russian conquest of Central Asia.
