The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (SDUK),
which flourished for 20 years in early Victorian England,
was devoted to producing high quality but cheap literature to the lower
classes. The SDUK can be credited with demonstrating to
a skeptical book trade the existence of a mass market and the commercial
possibilities of mass production of cheap books. The Series of Maps was
one of the SDUK's most successful ventures; indeed, proceeds from the
maps financed many other SDUK project. The SDUK archive, located at the
library of University College, London, and the basis of this research,
provides a wealth of information about publishing practices of the day.
This extremely detailed authentic map shows major provinces, towns,
villages, rivers, lakes, islands, and roads.
Excellent detail.
Interesting explanatory notes, such as: "The advance of the French Army
to Moscow in 1812 was through Giat, Mojaisk, etc." The elevation above
the sea is given (e.g., "309 Yards above the Sea" for Moscow).
Translation of common Russian terms is provided in the upper margin.
Scale is given in English Miles and Russian Versts. See pictures
