Description: Russia in Europe c. 1798 Roche American miniature engraved map Wheat & Brun #829 Russia in Europe (Old Maps, 18th Century Maps, Europe, Russia, Baltic Sea, Black Sea, Novgorod, Vaitka, Little Russia, Poland) Issued c. 1798, Philadelphia. Engraved by J. Roche. Rare late-18th century engraved miniature map, among but a handful produced during this era in America. All 18th century miniatures in any area of production are rare today, those produced in the United States especially so. This example also worthy of note for the engravers signature within the plate below the cartouche. Works by Roche are quite rare, and Stauffer's work on 18th century American engravers of the notes but a tiny handful by him are known, not mentioning this little well done cartographic gem. The engraver has clearly seen similar European maps with scroll and vegetation cartouches and done a nice job mimicking the look. Paper remains sound & well preserved, minor spotting in blank margins or edge toning. Nice example. Sheet measures c. 5 1/4" H x 3 3/8" W. Printed area measures c. 3 5/8" H x 3 3/8" W Wheat & Brun, Maps Produced in America Before 1800, 829 Stauffer, American Engravers Upon Copper and Steel, v. 1, p. 224 (noting plates from 1791 for Josephus, but with "no other plates are known".
