South Sweden Map with Inset of Halmstad – Antique Map by Frederik de Wit, c.1680
This richly detailed antique map titled Accurata Scaniae, Blekingae et Hallandiae Descriptio presents the southern provinces of Sweden: Scania (Skåne), Blekinge, and Halland. Published in Amsterdam by the renowned Dutch cartographer Frederik de Wit around 1680, the map exemplifies the elegance and precision of Golden Age Dutch cartography.
De Wit’s depiction includes a carefully engraved overview of the southern Swedish landscape, bounded by the Kattegat and Baltic Sea, and interspersed with forests, rivers, and settlements. Prominent cities such as Malmö, Lund, Kristianstad, and Karlskrona are noted, along with smaller towns and ecclesiastical divisions. The inclusion of the inset map of Halmstad and its surrounding coast enhances the geographic utility and regional focus of the map.
The decorative cartouche, held aloft by two cherubs, frames the title at the top center of the map, while another vignette in the upper right corner playfully depicts two cherubs operating a press. These elements add to the artistic appeal and historical charm of the piece.
Frederik de Wit (1630–1706) was one of Amsterdam’s most successful mapmakers of the late 17th century, known for his atlases, wall maps, and sea charts. His work combined geographical accuracy with artistic beauty, and his maps were widely distributed across Europe. This map is a fine example of his craftsmanship and the enduring importance of this border region between Denmark and Sweden.
