"Accurater Grundriss und Prospect der Kon. Schwed Reichs u. Hauptstadt Stockholm mit Aller Herumligenden Gegend, und Annehmlicher Situation von Innen u: Aussen", Homann, Johann Baptist

This plan of Stockholm shows great detail of streets, gardens, fortifications, and even an animal park at bottom right. Numerous ships, some engaged in battle, are faintly depicted near Riddarholmen. A compass rose orients north to the left. A lettered key identifies over 25 locations. At top is a decorative title cartouche featuring Cybele, the goddess of towns, a lion symbolizing Sweden, and weaponry. The map is further adorned with a unique distance scale depicted on a stone structure surrounded by people from the region.
