About the Item
Plan of Vänersborg, Sweden – Antique Map by Merian, c.1680 Theatrum Europaeum
Antique map titled 'Grundtriss und Situation von der Statt und Vöstung Wennersburg'. This early copper engraved town plan depicts the fortified Swedish city of Vänersborg, located on the southern shore of Lake Vänern. The map shows the city’s defensive structures and surrounding water routes, with a compass rose orienting the viewer.
Originating from Merian's renowned work Theatrum Europaeum, published circa 1680, the map captures a time when Sweden held significant military and political influence in Northern Europe. The simplicity of the cartography and the fine engraving reflect the style and purpose of Merian's historical chronicles, which documented European events and cities of strategic importance.
A numbered key identifies key landmarks, including fortifications, gates, and waterways. The map is both a historical document and an artistic engraving, offering a glimpse into the military planning and urban layout of Vänersborg in the 17th century.
