Lithograph, colored, Ethnographic map of Russia by Lieutenant Aleksandr Fyodorovich Rittikh. Printed by C.Hellfahrth in Gotha. 1 map on 2 sheets 98 x 64, sheets 56 x 67. Originally published in St. Petersburg, the Russian title of the map is: Ethnografischeskaia karta Europeiskoi Rossi. The map exhibited the gradual absorption of the minor nationalities of the great Russian race, and showed the vast empire will be inhabited by one people speaking the same language. Map includes legend and color coded key to the various ethnic groups. Rittikh produced an atlas of Russian ethnography in about 1878. As noted in the May 18, 1878 edition of The Saturday Review of Politics, LIterature, Science and Art (Vol 45, p. 639): The last part of Petermann's Geogrnphische Mittlmilungen' is devoted to the ethnography of Russia, and contains a reproduction of Rittich's recent atlas of Russian ethnography.
