An antique engraving on paper depicting scenes and printed chronicle story about the Battle of Kulikovo Field, or Mamaevo or Battle of the Don, 1380. The Battle of Kulikovo was fought between the armies of the Golden Horde, under the command of Mamai, and various Russian principalities, under the united command of Prince Dmitry of Moscow. The battle took place on 8 September 1380, at the Kulikovo Field near the Don River, now Tula Oblast, Russia, and was won by Dmitry, who became known as Donskoy, of the Don after the battle. Although the victory did not end Mongol domination over Rus, it is widely regarded by Russian historians as the turning point at which Mongol influence began to wane and Moscow's power began to rise. The process eventually led to the Grand Duchy of Moscow's independence and the formation of the modern Russian state. Titled and numbered 303 in the plate lower to the center. Language: Old Russian language. The text and the image are framed by the ornamental border. Circa: 17th to 18th century. Antique Russian Kievan Rus Historical Chronicle, Graphic Art Prints for Collectors.
