Description
Anthony Jenkinson became a member of the Mercer's Company in 1555. In 1558, Jenkinson's expedition left in order finding a trading route from Moscow to Persia and China. He made his way through Moscow, meeting with Ivan the Terrible, to the Volga and Caspian Sea.
From there they pushed on ever deeper into Asia finally reaching Bukhara in present day Uzbekistan.
Jenkinson is said to have been the first foreigner to cross Russia from north to south, and the first Englishman to reach so far east. On his return to England in 1560, he began preparation of his map published in 1562 in four sheets.

Eight years later Abraham Ortelius published a reduced size version for his very influential 'Theatrum Orbis Terrarum'.
