Description
This monumental map details the southern frontier of the Russian Empire in Asia, extending southwards to the British sphere of influence in Afghanistan, the Punjab and Kashmir. The western part of the map reaches as far as the Aral Sea and Kashmar, formerly Torshīz (شیز) in Persia. The eastern limits of the map are dominated by the Chinese Empire. The lands covered are today divided between Kazakhstan in the north, Uzbekistan across the center, Kyrgyzstan in the east, Tajikistan in the southeast, and Turkmenistan in the southwest. This represented the primary theatre of The Great Game - the struggle for control in Central Asia between Russia and the British Empire.
