This is an uncommon and very fine map of Fyn, Langeland, and Als. It is beautifully engraved and decorated with a coat of arms and sailing ships, and the cartouches are adorned with hunters and putti. This map was first published by Jan Jansson, then re-issued by Moses Pitt with the addition of a graticule, and finally re-issued by Valck & Schenk with their imprint at bottom.
