A scarce sea chart of the southern portion of the Baltic region, extending from Kalingrad and Riga to just past Stockholm and into the Gulf of Finland. The islands of Gotland, Bornholm, Rugen, Oland, and Oesel are delineated. There are two decorative compass roses orienting the map, and a ship and sea monster grace the sea. The title is attended by a pair of fishermen with their catch in the lower right.

References: Tooley (MCC-70) #283.

Condition: B+

A sturdy sheet with narrow margins as issued. There is a small cluster of wormholes in the lower centerfold that are not distracting from the chart and do not affect any important data.
