About the Item
This hand-colored map of Sweden and adjacent portions of Scandinavia entitled "Regni Sueciae in Omnes suas Subjacentes Provincias accurate divisi Tabula Generalis" was created by Johann Baptist Homann in 1710 and published in Nuremberg, Germany in 1730 shortly after his death. The map detail cities, forts, mountains, forests and lakes, as well as districts. It includes Stockholm, Coppenhavi (Copenhagen), Helsingingfors, Helsingo (Helsinki), Livonia (now Estonia), Lithuania, Latvia and the Baltic Sea. The beautiful elaborate cartouche in the lower right depicts people, cherubs, a lion, weapons, an armorial royal crest and decorative scroll work
The map is beautiful han-colored. There is a central vertical fold, as issued. There is mild discoloration in the margins, but the map is otherwise in very good condition.
Johann Baptist Homann (1663-1724) was a mapmaker who founded a respected and prolific publishing company, which continued long after his death as Homann Heirs. Homann lived his entire life in Bavaria, particularly in Nuremberg. Initially, Johann trained to become a priest before converting to Protestantism and working as a notary. In 1702, Johann founded a publishing house that specialized in engravings. The firm flourished, becoming the leading map publisher in Germany and an important entity in the European map market. In 1715, Johann was named Imperial Geographer to the Holy Roman Empire by Charles VI and made a member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences. Most importantly for his business, his reputation and contacts gained him imperial printing privileges which protected his publications and recommended him to customers.
