Railways, cities and the long routes of imperial Russia fill the maps of Russland nebst Teheran, Port Arthur, Peking, Baedeker's German-language handbook, published in Leipzig in its seventh edition in 1912. The empire it covers was far larger than Russia today: alongside Moscow and St Petersburg, the Volga, Siberia and the Caucasus, town plans include Finland, the Baltic provinces and Warsaw. Plans of the Kremlin and the Hermitage lead the traveller inside the great monuments, environs maps reach out to resorts and the surrounding country, and route maps and regional sheets cover the long stretches between. German spellings such as Reval and Wladiwostok follow the guide's own conventions.
