RARE MAP OF SCANDINAVIA. BOTERO, GIOVANNI. Sveciae regnum. 1597.

Engraved map with cartouche and sailing ship. About 155x190 mm. German text on verso. Upper margin slightly shaved affecting the top of some letters and the number verso.

Ginsberg, 36, KRO 1. This copy comes from "Kronn und Aussbundt aller Wegweiser" with German text verso and page no. 249. First published in "Theatrum principum orbis universi" 1596. According to Ginsberg printed before the upper left corner was broken or cracked. The text verso gives distances between important cities. For a collector some of the smaller maps of Scandinavia from the so-called "Cologne school" late 1500 are among the rarest and most difficult to acquire.
