About the Item
Sweden & Norway – Antique Map of Scandinavia with Stockholm Inset, 1865
This finely detailed antique map titled Sweden & Norway (Scandinavia) offers a comprehensive 19th-century view of the Nordic Peninsula, featuring the nations of Sweden and Norway in their full geographical extent. Published in 1865 as part of the esteemed Royal Atlas of Modern Geography by Alexander Keith Johnston, the map reflects the advanced cartographic knowledge and printing techniques of the Victorian era.
The map is notable for its clarity and precision, showing mountain ranges, rivers, cities, railway lines, and administrative divisions across the Scandinavian landscape. An inset map of Stockholm and its surroundings adds valuable geographic and historical context, highlighting the capital region of Sweden in more granular detail.
Johnston, a respected Scottish geographer and cartographer, created the Royal Atlas to serve as a scientific and educational reference for both scholars and laypeople. His maps were recognized for their accuracy and elegance and were used by universities and institutions across the British Empire. The publication by William Blackwood and Sons of Edinburgh and London ensured wide distribution and high production quality.
This map stands out for its delicate coloration, precise typography, and beautifully engraved topographical features, typical of Johnston’s work. It offers not only historical insights into Scandinavian boundaries and infrastructure but also a visual representation of the growing importance of geography in Victorian education and statecraft.
