- Abstract
- This article explores the fate of maps and plans from the collection of Peter the Great focusing on Empress Catherine II’s efforts in 1765 to recover documents related to canal projects between Moscow and St. Petersburg. Despite reaching out to Abram Hannibal, who once oversaw Peter’s cabinet, most documents appeared lost or transferred to the Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg, fueling suspicions of theft. The text details the complex history of these cartographic items, including the role of Joseph-Nicolas Delisle, whose French catalogs and meticulous copies preserved many originals that were later lost from Russian archives. Two notable maps—the plan of Revel and the Moscow-St. Petersburg road map—were rediscovered in the National Library of France (Bibliothèque Nationale de France), illustrating how French copies serve as vital windows into Russia’s cartographic heritage, countering allegations of their illicit removal and emphasizing their ongoing value for historical research.
