About the Item

Scandinavia & Baltic Map – Antique by G. & L. Valk, incl. Sweden, Finland, 1700 Antique map titled 'Sueciae Magnae, totius orbis regni antiquissimi (..)' by Gerard and Leonard Valk. This finely engraved map presents a detailed view of Scandinavia and the Baltic region, covering Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, and Latvia. The map’s geographical accuracy reflects the period’s growing understanding of Northern Europe’s rugged landscapes, political boundaries, and coastal contours. Published in Amsterdam in the early 18th century, this map reflects the legacy of the Valk family, prominent Dutch cartographers and publishers known for their beautifully hand-colored maps. The Valks carried on the tradition of Blaeu and Janssonius, preserving the rich visual language of Dutch Golden Age cartography, with ornate cartouches, strong linework, and careful geographical notations. The present map combines decorative appeal with historical significance, making it a prized piece for collectors interested in Northern Europe. Condition: Very good, general age-related toning. Original hand coloring. Some minor margin imperfections and a light horizontal fold in the middle. Framing tips: This map would pair well with a classic black or walnut frame and a cream or light grey mat to highlight its rich hand coloring and historical ambiance. It will make a striking centerpiece in any study, hallway, or library.
