"A New Map of Ancient Scandinavia together with as Much More of ye Northern Part of Ancient Europe as Answers to Present Denmark & Moscovia", Wells, Edward

This interesting map covers northeastern Europe and Scandinavia showing the ancient political divisions and place names. In a large inset is a map of "Present Denmark with the adjoining Part of Sweden and Germany." The title cartouche incorporates the royal coat-of-arms and another cartouche encloses the distance scale. Wells, a math professor at Oxford, dedicated the map to his student and heir to the British throne, William - Duke of Gloucester.
