This miniature map shows the seventeenth century territorial acquisitions of Sweden within Denmark and Poland, based on the treaties of Bromsebro (1645), Copenhagen (1660), and Oliva (1660). Pierre Duval was Nicolas Sanson's nephew and pupil. He published a wide range of atlases and individual maps including a fine miniature world geography with many of the maps based on Sanson.

A nice impression with contemporary outline color in the map and later color in the cartouche, on watermarked paper with a hint of offsetting. There is light toning and dampstains along the edges of the sheet.
