| Summary: | Semyon Ul’yanovich Remezov (c. 1642-after 1720) was a famous Russian cartographer.Remezov’s maps are good examples of original national mappings in seventeenth-century and early eighteenth-century Russia. His works have been preserved in the form of three manuscript books of maps of Siberia. In the course of the following description these books are refer to by their original titles: (1)Drawing Sketchbook of Siberia (Chertezhnaya Kniga Sibiri), (2)Working Sketchbook (Sluzhebnaya Kniga), and (3)Chorographic Sketchbook (Khorograficheskaya Kniga). These three books consist of original maps and copies by Remezov and his sons. This paper examines the characteristics of the image of Siberia that emerges from these books in the political context of Russia’s expansion to the east and south and its colonial control of Siberia. In 1696, an order was issued by the Siberian court office in Moscow for the Siberian towns to produce maps of their respective region. The instructions directed that each map must contain all Russian villages and native settlements dependent on the district town and paying tribute to it, indicating the rivers on which they were situated, their names, and the distances from them to the town. The local governor entrusted this new task to Remezov in Tobol’sk, which was at that time an important Siberian administrative center. Remezov worked as an official surveyor and geographer in the districts surrounding Tobol’sk. He was not only a cartographer but also an official service man, and therefore, could directly copy many regional maps and information gathered in the Siberian court office in Moscow to compile Drawing Sketchbook of Siberia (1699-1701). His work thus reflected and represents the traditional image of Siberia in the context of Russian cartography before the Petrine reforms. Working Sketchbook is Remezov’s personal collection. After he finished Drawing Sketchbook of Siberia, Remezov and his sons collected various maps he had drawn himself or copied on his own initiative. These maps can be ... |
