| This fine map of Norway, Sweden, and Finland depicts rivers and mountains and names numerous cities. It is based on Mercator's fifteen-sheet map of Europe dated 1554, which was revised in 1572. Mercator's map became the standard model of Scandinavia for most subsequent maps of the area. The map is adorned with a handsome strapwork cartouche and a stippled sea. French text on verso. |
Condition: B+ due to light toning wit minor foxing on paper with a small coat of arms watermark. There is an archivally repaired centerfold separation at bottom.
