Description

This map is centered on the eastern coast of Sweden in the Baltic Sea, around the old historical provinces of Upland and Sudermania, from the Stockholm archipelago to lakes Mälar and Hjälmaren. The title cartouche is decorated with four figures (two peasants, a knight and an allegorical figure), and a second cartouche bears the arms of Upland. To the east of the map, in the Baltic Sea, the Finnish archipelago of Aland is surmounted by its own coat of arms.

Map published in the Appendix to the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum of 1635 (1640), and in the first volume of the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum of 1640.

Van der Krogt, II, 1435:2.1 and 2:201.1-(10).
