This superb map of southern Sweden extends west to show Copenhagen in Denmark. A large inset at lower right features Halland, a portion of West Gothland, and a small part of Norway along with the fortified cities of Gothenberg and Warberg. The map is adorned by a banner-style title cartouche and distance scale held by putti. This is the second state, with the addition of some topographical detail in Regni Sueciae Pars and a more detailed Turholm mountain, published 1682-86.
