"Chart of the Straits between Denmark and Sweden, Shewing the Passage from the Kattegat through the Sound, to Copenhagen Road, and thence through the Grounds to the Entrance of the Baltic", Faden, William

This scarce chart of the Straits between Denmark and Sweden extends from Kullen Point in Kattegat to Falsterbo in the Baltic. Copenhagen, Malmo and Landscrona are prominently depicted, with notes on the fortifications of Copenhagen. Tycho Brahe's observatory on Hveen is shown. The chart features remarkable detail of soundings, anchorages, navigational hazards, lighthouses, and windmills.
