There is good topographical detail within Scandinavia, and many towns, political divisions, and rivers are identified. An inset in the top left corner shows the Norwegian Sea with Greenland and Iceland. The map is adorned with a beautiful title cartouche and a compass rose capped with a fleur-de-lis. Engraved by John Gibson.
