This detailed map illustrates Sweden, parts of Norway and Finland, and the Baltic states that were at the time under her control, present-day Latvia and Estonia. It was originally published during the Great Northern War (1700-21), a war that pitted the Swedish Empire against a coalition led by the Tsardom of Russia. Scores of towns and villages, rivers and lakes, and islands are located and named. The large decorative title cartouche features the royal coat of arms, a trumpeting angel, putti, and Ares and Minerva.
