This masterfully engraved map of Scandinavia extends to the east to include portions of Russia, the Baltic states, and the northern part of Germany and Poland. Political divisions are delineated, and numerous towns and cities are located. A decorative title cartouche featuring Ulrika Eleonora, Queen of Sweden, and an Edenic scene adorns the top left corner.

A nice impression with contemporary color in the map and later color in the cartouche. There is light dampstaining at top, light soiling, and a couple of short printer's creases.
