Map Description
Old map of Kursk Oblast, Russian Federation.
names are in Russian and French. Kursk was probably founded as a Slavic settlement before the 11th century, although it had been inhabited by nomadic peoples for a millennium. The Kursk region was immortalized in the Lay of Igor's Host, an epic medieval poem about a local ruler who unsuccessfully battled the nearby Polovtsians. In the 19th century, the composer Alexander Borodin created an opera, Prince Igor, based on this poem. Over the centuries Kursk was beset by invasions by the Mongols, Poles, Lithuanians, and Crimean Tatars. Muscovy began to absorb the Kursk region in the late 16th century. In the 17th century, a significant number of Russians migrated into the region. World Digital Library.

Map Sizing Information
- For the best legibility, order your map in the original size or larger. Most maps have intricate detail and small text that is best appreciated when the print size hasn't been reduced.
- Sizes labeled "Fits a Standard Frame" will drop right into any frame that you purchase in that size. The sizes that we offer are commonly available online and at most retail stores.
- Our standard sizes are recommendations based on the aspect ratio of the original map, but still may require some added "white space" in one dimension to fit.
- Non-standard sizes will require custom framing, and we suggest taking your print to the frame shop of your choice after you receive it for the best results.
- Custom sizes are available, simply contact us for a quote.
Below is an approximation of the scale of a few standard sizes, and how they might appear in your space.
