This handsome map focuses on Norway and Sweden. It is based on the Robert de Vaugondy map of the same title, but it is expanded to also cover Scotland, Denmark, Finland, and the Baltic states, with parts of Poland, Prussia, and Russia. The coastlines are well-drawn to illustrate the fjords and harbors, and inland the mountains, rivers, lakes and forests are equally detailed. There is a large inset of Iceland at top left. This edition was published by Santini's successor, Giuseppe Antonio Remondini.
