Map Description
Old map of Astrakhan Oblast, Russian Federation.
names are in Russian and French. Astrakhan was founded in about the 13th century, in the upper delta of the Volga River. For centuries, the city was at the crossroads of the civilizations of Europe, Asia, India, Persia, Georgia, and Armenia. Astrakhan was also located near Sarai, the famous capital of the western Mongol kingdom, the Golden Horde. Sarai (near Selitrenoi gorodok on this map) was established in the 1240s by the Mongol ruler, Badu Khan. Russian princes throughout the medieval period had to travel to Sarai and pay tribute to the khan. They also had to receive the khan's yarlyk (patent of authority), and sometimes traveled as far as Karakorum (present-day Mongolia) as a political necessity to visit the Great Khan. The Astrakhan region was besieged over the centuries by Timur, the sultans of Ottoman Turkey, and ultimately the tsars of Russia. In 1556, Ivan the Terrible conquered the Khanate of Astrakhan, a remnant state of the Mongols, and absorbed the region into the realms of Muscovy. This constituted the symbolic final ascendance of Russia after centuries of struggle with the Mongol yoke. Astrakhan continued to witness social and political upheavals, including the Cossack rebellions of Stepan Timofeevich Razin (known as Stenka Razin) in the 17th century and Kondratii Bulavin in the 18th century. The city rose to economic prominence under Peter the Great and Catherine the Great in the 18th century, as the Russian gateway to the Caspian Sea. 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.
