His vast six-sheet map of Scandinavia from 1626 gave the region a far more recognisable geographical form and became an important source for European map publishers throughout the 17th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis more compact interpretation was engraved by Abraham Goos and issued in Amsterdam within the publishing circle of Claes Jansz.

The cartouche is dedicated to King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden and surrounded by a colourful arrangement of regional coats of arms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMountain ranges are shown as rows of shaded profiles. Towns, rivers, coastlines and political territories fill the land, while sailing ships and compass roses animate the surrounding seas. A separate scale cartouche records several regional measurements of distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design is commonly associated with a date around 1630, which also appears in the National Library’s alternative title.
