A rare 1781 map of Crimea, the Dnieper River, and part of Ukraine. At the time of publication, Crimea was at a pivotal moment, transitioning from an independent Khanate under Ottoman suzerainty to a region increasingly dominated by Russia, foreshadowing its formal annexation in 1783. This shift was part of the larger struggle between the Ottoman Empire and Russia for control and influence in Eastern Europe and the Black Sea region. The map notes the region west of the Dnieper as "part of the newly acquired Russian Territories." by Lodge, John. Published June 1785. Antique copperplate map.
