Copper engraved chart of the Oresund, the strait that separates the Danish island Zealand from the southern Swedish province Scania, and controls traffic between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. Political control of Oresund has been an important issue in Danish and Swedish history with both countries erecting coastal fortresses, the most important of which are Kronborg (Danish) and Helsingborg (Swedish).
