This magnificent map covers all of Denmark, the northern tip of Germany, and the southern tip of Sweden. The land is fully engraved with mountains, forests, and cities. The title cartouche is quite elaborate with a host of livestock and the traditional woodwose standing guard over the coat of arms in the center.

Condition: B+

A nice impression with contemporary color in the map and later color in the cartouche, on a bright sheet. There is light toning along the centerfold, several small worm holes, and marginal soiling.
