Ukraine under Western Eyes
The Bohdan and Neonila Krawciw Ucrainica Map Collection
Steven Seegel
From the Renaissance to the Enlightenment, the geopolitical placement of
Ukraine drew the attention of some of Europe’s most influential
cartographers. Many of these maps, including ones of exceptional rarity,
were collected by the Ukrainian scholar and journalist Bohdan Krawciw.


Krawciw traced the physical and aesthetic depiction of Ukraine across its
changing borders as a means of self-recognition and as a cultural and
political history of the contested nation and its peoples. Of special
interest are his maps of Ukraine from the nineteenth and twentieth
centuries, at the crossroads of four empires: Habsburg, Ottoman, Russian,
and Soviet.


As part of his personal archive, Krawciw’s maps were bequeathed to Harvard
University upon his death in 1975. This book serves as both a catalog of
his collection and a description of how the maps he collected serve as an
invaluable source for Ukraine’s history and a symbol of Ukrainian national
identity. The book contains nearly 100 examples from the collection, many
in full color, as well as indices listing maps by cartographer and by place
name.


Steven Seegel is Assistant Professor of History and Political Science at
Worcester State College.
