"Tractus Norwegiae Danicus Magnam Dioeceseos Aggerhusiensis Partem Siftens Editus", Homann, Johann Baptist

The focus of this map of Aggerhus is the spectacular cross-section of a mountain mine that fills the right side of the map. The map itself covers the vicinity of Oslo (Christania) and provides a fine view of the roads, towns, villages and forts in the region. The large title cartouche is beautifully engraved with putti in a cloud background.

A nice impression with contemporary color in the map and later color in the cartouche and vignette at right, on a bright sheet with a coat of arms watermark. There are two short tears that just enter the border at top and have been archivally repaired on verso.
