Original 1797 Scot & AllardIce Map RUSSIA OR MOSCOVY Thomas Dobson Encyclopedia

Description: Important early American map of Russia, published in Thomas Dobson's Encyclopædia, Philadelphia, 1791. The map is titled Russia or Moscovy and was engraved by Robert Scot and Samuel Allardice. Scot was the most prolific engraver of early American patriotic iconography, including the Great Seal of the United States and numerous coin designs for the United States Mint. Along with four apprentices, including Samuel Allardice, Scot engraved the largest number of engravings for Dobson's Encyclopædia, a re-edited version of the British edition of Encyclopædia Britannica. Dobson's patriotic initiative was recognized and supported by then-President George Washington, who ordered two sets of his Encyclopædia, one of which now rests with most of the rest of George Washington's personal library in the Boston Athenæum.
