"[On 2 Sheets] Carte des Courones du Nord Dediee Au Tres Puissant et Tres Invincible Prince Charles XII...", Delisle, Guillaume

Magnificent map on two sheets of Scandinavia and the Baltic States with a brilliant figurative armorial cartouche dedicating the map to Charles XII, King of Sweden. The map is filled with excellent detail of the topography and the cities, towns and villages. Louis Renard's imprint appears to have been removed under the title cartouche, evidence of the failed relationship in which Renard sold Delisle's maps in the Dutch market.
