This handsome and detailed Italian map covers southern Norway. It is fully engraved to show the rugged terrain, many fiords, and inland waterways. As noted in his Annotazione the Prefecture of Salten in northern Norway is not included because it was delineated on Zatta's general map of Scandinavia. The map is decorated with a nautical-themed title cartouche. Engraved by G. Zuliani, with lettering by G. Pitteri.
