Hello,
We have discovered an uncatalogued facsimile map of Moscow in our
collection, and would like to put a date to it, for use by current client.

title: PLAN GORODA MOSKVY S PRIGORODAMI

copyright info: PKO, "Kartografii", 1991 (there is further Russian
bibliog stuff onthe bottom of the map, but my russian isn't up to
trans-lating/-literating it.

It's a colour map of Moscow, 101x71cm, probably c.1900, showing
streets,districts/suburbs (coloured), railways, etc, with an inset of
the Kremlin in the bottom right and of what appears to be a park and
railroad junction in the bottom left.

There is no visible date, apart from the 1991 date of reproduction.

Does anyone have a copy in their collection that has been dated?

The only online reference I can find is a cached page from an online
russian bookseller, but there's hardly any info apart from the title and
price:
