Abstract

The analysis of the engraving «The Plan of Astrakhan,» published in Jacques-Nicolas Bellin’s Petit Atlas Maritime (Paris, 1764), reveals its source in a previously unknown handmade plan of Astrakhan dating from the early 18 ^th century. This artifact is likely the earliest city plan made by Russian geodesists who worked for Peter the Great. The article discusses the history and authorship of the plan, European interest in Astrakhan as one of the chief transit points on the road from Russia to the East, and the role of the astronomer Joseph-Nicolas Delisle in bringing the plan to France.
