Sweden & Finland Map Poster from 1747
Follow the coast around the Gulf of Bothnia, look for a familiar place, or explore the separate northern map at the lower right. The cream background and fine engraved linework suit a study, library or quiet living room. For someone with Swedish or Finnish family roots, it offers a place to begin conversations about where a family comes from.
About the Original Map
The original title preserves historical Swedish spelling, including “ock” and “Norland”. The Royal Danish Library credits Georg Biurman and records the map as a coloured copper engraving, made in Stockholm in 1747. Its catalogue places this copy in Atlas Minor, volume 7, plate 61, and records an original size of 56 × 47 cm and an approximate scale of 1:2,500,000.
The northern portion is labelled “Norre Delen af Sverige”. Another inscription refers longitude to the observatory in Uppsala. These details make the print a record of historical mapmaking as well as a decorative object. Borders, names and geographical representation belong to the original map’s period. The original scale does not apply to every reproduction size.
