Normally seen as a large folding map it is uncommon to find it segmented and linen backed. Folding on 32 segments the map self-folds into outer panel with ink title and original paper label of bookseller Picquet Neveu. This finely engraved chart covers the region from Denmark through to the Urals, and all of Scandinavia. The map is filled with great detail of the terrain and watershed and names scores of small towns and villages. Large decorative title cartouche with eight distance scales below. Large inset at upper left shows the island of Iceland. Engraved by G. De la Haye.
