This lovely map of Denmark extends to include Schleswig-Holstein, the Pomeranian coast, and southern Sweden. There is good detail of rivers, mountains, lowlands, forests, cities, and towns. A large decorative title cartouche fills the top right corner. This is the second state, published after 1768, with lettering changes and spelling changes for certain place names (Malmuye is now Malmo, for instance).
References: Pedley #72.
Condition: B+
Contemporary outline color in the map with later color in the cartouche, on a sheet with the watermark of the Society of Jesus (IHS). There are a few faint spots, a hint of toning along the centerfold, and an archival repair to a tiny horizontal tear near center.
