Catalog: Details
[Scandinavia] Van der Aa, Scandinavie Septentrionale...Meridionale Ou Couronnes Du Nord... Leiden, 1713. 20¼ x 15. Full Col. Diagonal crease lower right, else VG. Koeman criticized Van der Aa's use of "a stupid map projection" but the savvy publisher deliberately distorted distances so he could squeeze two maps onto a single sheet and still have room for the decorative picture frame border. Captions locate copper and iron mines and identify local fishermen as paying tribute to either Denmark or the Crown of Sweden. One of the title cartouches includes a vignette of a necromancer casting a spell from within his magic circle. SOLD
