DEZAUCHE, J-C. - Carte du gouvernement de Tauride, comprenant la Krime. . .

Very rare map of the Crimea area published Jean-Claude Dezauche, who was active in Paris 1770-1824. The map includes borders and a road system.
Dezauche is giving credit to the Russian Royal Academy of Sciences. This academy was created in 1724 in St Petersburg. It was not only intended to coordinate and produce science but also to aid in solutions to practical problems. Many foreign scientists were invited to participate. Joseph Nicolas de l' Isle was invited to head the department of geography and came in 1726.
