Scandinavia Sweden Denmark Finland Norway 1719 Mallet decorative map

Royaumes du Nord.

(Old Prints, Mallet Prints, Europe, Scandinavia, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Baltic Sea).

Issued 1719, Frankfurt, for A.M. Mallet. 

Charming 18th century copper engraved map with lovely hand color.

Decorative title cartouche over right, two tall mast sailing ships in the northern sea area.

The image has a near folk-art feel, a style unique to this historical era. Utterly unlike anything produced today and of modern aesthetic appeal for this reason.

Mostly clean and well preserved example, the image displays a pleasing age patina.

Sheet measures c. 7 7/8" H x 5 7/8" W.

Printed area measures c. 5 1/2" H x 4" W.
