About the Item
Title: Antique Map of Sweden & Norway, 1903, with Intricate Topographical Detail
Description:
This antique map, titled "Sweden & Norway (Scandinavia)," was engraved and published in 1903 by W. & A.K. Johnston in Edinburgh and London. It beautifully captures the geographical and political landscape of Scandinavia at the turn of the 20th century, highlighting the natural grandeur and strategic location of these northern European countries.
The map is delicately colored in pastel shades to mark provincial and administrative boundaries, while fine linework depicts the rugged mountains, deep fjords, and expansive forests that define the Scandinavian Peninsula. Cities such as Stockholm, Oslo (then Christiania), Gothenburg, and Bergen are marked with precision, alongside key rivers, lakes, and coastal features.
One of the most captivating aspects of this map is its depiction of the remote northern reaches above the Arctic Circle, including the northern coastlines and the rugged archipelagos of the Lofoten Islands. The carefully engraved typography and shading bring to life the varied topography of the region, emphasizing both its harsh beauty and its cultural significance.
For collectors, historians, and lovers of Scandinavian heritage, this map is more than just a visual artifact. It represents a time when these nations were known for their maritime traditions and natural resources, poised on the brink of the modern era. Its refined composition and careful coloring make it a statement piece for any setting.
