MAKHAYEV, MIKHAIL IVANOVICH.

Biografiska uppgifter:B. Smolenskoye, Vereysky district [now Moscow region], 1716-18; d. St Petersburg, 25 Feb 1770.
Russian draughtsman and engraver. He was the son of a priest, and from 1729 he studied at the St Petersburg Naval Academy. In August 1731 he was transferred to the instrument-making department of the Academy of Sciences, where he helped to make land-surveying instruments, including theodolites (a training that was of value when he later came to sketch views of St Petersburg); he also learnt how to carve moulds for dies under Georg Unfertsagt (1701-67); and he studied drawing under the two members of the Academy staff, Ottmar Elliger II and Elias Grimmel (1703-58). In June 1743 Makhayev was made director of the cartographic and die-carving section of the Academy, and he was employed there for the rest of his life. Together with his pupils he helped to produce the Atlas rossiyskoy imperii ('Atlas of the Russian Empire'; 1740s); in addition, he provided inscriptions for diplomas for honorary members of the Academy, for porcelain snuff-boxes and for a large silver shrine at the tomb of Aleksandr Nevsky (early 1750s; St Petersburg, Hermitage).
