Description
Rare Coppenburgh edition of Pieter Van Den Keere's map of the Kingdom of Denmark (with a large part of Sweden).
First issued in 1631, this edition bears Cloppenburgh's name only, but retains all of the fine decorative qualities and fantastic engraving of the original.
The map is in a very fine early ENGLISH color, which can be clearly distinguished from Dutch color of the period.
Condition Description
Fine original ENGLISH color. Trimmed at left and right sides, just entering printed image.
