Bland arbeten.
Plan de la ville de Peking levee en 1817 (title repeated in Russian). St. Petersburg, (c. 1815) 1220 x 960 mm.
A rare map of the city published in St Petersburg in the early part of the nineteenth century. The plan shows details of the city walls, gates, streets, waterways, lakes, palaces, buildings and temples. Although mentioned in Cordier, little detail is given, but it does appear to be a source map for a number of subsequent maps published through the nineteenth century.
The Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Peking was founded in 1727. The Emperor K’Ang His gave them a temple in the north-west corner of the city. According to Cordier a good deal of Scientific and Sinological work was done at the mission.
c. 1703-66
