Antique Map of Denmark by Valk 'circa 1690'

About the Item

The map titled "Regnum Daniae, divisum in Dioeceses Arhusiam, Albergum, Viborgum, et Ripam (..)" is a meticulously detailed representation of the Kingdom of Denmark during a historical period, including parts of northern Germany and southern Sweden. Published by G. & L. Valk, this map is an exemplar of cartographic detail and precision, delineating the various dioceses such as Aarhus, Aalborg, Viborg, and Ribe, as indicated by the title. The map provides a comprehensive view of the region's geographical features, including coastlines, rivers, forests, and the locations of towns and cities. The division into dioceses suggests a focus on the ecclesiastical or church administrative divisions that were significant during the time. Cartouches, ornamental in design, may adorn the map, containing the title and possibly other details such as the scale of miles, a dedication, or the mapmaker's mark. The map's utility goes beyond mere navigation, serving as a historical record of the political and religious territorial divisions of the time. It would hold significant value for historians, researchers, and enthusiasts of cartographic history, providing insights into the period's landscape as well as the mapmaking artistry of G. & L. Valk.
