A beautiful example of Finley's important 1827 map of Russia in Asia.   Depicts from the Black Sea and Arabia eastward to the Behring Strait, northwards to the Arctic, and southwards  to Chinese Tartary.  Show rives, forests, major cities, and mountain ranges. The Land of Liakhov, more widely known as the Legendary Ivory Islands, appears in the Russian Arctic.  Ivan Liakhov discovered these islands in the late 18th century and was astounded to find that they contained so much fossil mammoth ivory that the entire archipelago seemed to be composed of the stuff.   Engraved by Young and Delleker for the 1827 edition of Anthony Finley's  General Atlas .
