This exquisitely engraved map of Scandinavia extends to include all of Estonia and Latvia, the northern part of Lithuania, and Russia as far east as Lake Onega and the White Sea. There are copious towns and cities named, including Copenhagen, Gothenburg, Stockholm, Trondheim, Oulu, Helsinki, Saint Petersburg, Reval (Tallinn), Riga, and Memel (Klaipeda). There is nice topographical detail of watershed, mountains, and forests. The elaborate title cartouche at bottom right incorporates three distance scales and putti displaying five regional coats of arms. Two compass roses further decorate the map.
