Tabula Exactissima Regnorum Sueciae et Norvegiae, nec non Maris Universi Orientalis...
Jodocus Hondius (*1563 - †1612)Reference 12883
Description
Scarce map of Scandinavia and the Baltic region by J. Hondius. It was only included in a few early editions of the Mercator-Hondius Atlas and is quite rare. After Anders Bure's large map of Scandinavia.
Anders Bure, a significant figure in Scandinavian cartography, created a six-sheet map of Sweden in 1626. Bure, with a background in mathematics and as the Secretary to Gustav II Adolf, the King of Sweden, played a crucial role in mapping the kingdom's topography. His work, titled Orbis Arctoi Nova et Accurata Delineatio, served as a foundation for Dutch mapmakers like Jodocus Hondius, Willem Janszoon Blaeu, and Nicholas Visscher when crafting their own maps of northern Europe.
From the French edition of the Mercator-Hondius Atlas of 1633. French text on verso.
