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.

References: Ginsberg (Scandia) #CE57.

Condition: A

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.

Estimate: $275 - $350

Sold for: $200
