  • Summary

    Chapter 5 introduces the reader to the map of 1562 and 1566 attributed to Anthony Jenkinson, a merchant and envoy of the joint stock Muscovy Company. The Company had been founded in 1555 in London to capitalize on the unexpected landing of a British explorers in Muscovy’s hinterlands and quickly won trade monopolies with Russia; the chapter introduces the cast of characters (cartographer, engraver, publisher) in the Muscovy Company who collaborated in producing a map based on Jenkinson’s report of his travels through Russia to Persia in 1557 and 1561.
