Scarce sea chart covers Iceland, Spitzbergen, Nova Zembla, Northern Scotland, and Scandinavia with just a hint of Greenland's coast. The chart is beautifully adorned by a dramatic cartouche featuring scenes of hunting, with a man pursuing polar bears in a sled pulled by a reindeer. A pair of compass roses decorate the sea along with a dramatic whaling scene.

Lovely impression with oxidized original color. There are a number of repaired tears in the map, with some chipping and paper weakness, and a small hole on the bottom centerfold.
