"[Lot of 2] Daniae Typus [and] Desitu Daniae",

First (4.2 x 3") is a miniature map from a pocket edition of Ortelius' Epitome, circa 1601. The map focuses on Denmark, but extends from the German coastline north to include part of the Norwegian coastline and the southern part of Sweden including Stockholm. Latin text on verso.

Second (5.3 x 4") is a woodblock map from Munster's Cosmography, circa 1545. It covers the same region and provides an interesting comparison of both style and content. Trimmed from a sheet of Latin text.
