"Insulae Danicae in Mari Balthico Sitae, Utpote Zeelandia, Fionia, Langelandia, Lalandia, Falstria, Fembria Mona, Repraesentatae", Homann, Johann Baptist

This very detailed and finely engraved chart shows the main islands plus the eastern coastline of Denmark and a little of Sweden. It identifies major islands including Zealand, Funen, Lolland, Langeland, and Falster. The superb cartouche features a large vignette depicting the approach to Copenhagen with ships in the harbor. It is further adorned with the royal arms and a scene of merfolk frolicking in the sea.
