A hand-colored engraved map of Northern Europe and the surrounding seas, published in Amsterdam by Regner and Josue Ottens. The map focuses on Scandinavia (Sweden, Norway, and Denmark) and also shows Finland, the Baltic states (Estonia, Livonia, Courland), northern Poland, Lithuania, and a significant portion of northwestern Russia (labeled "Muscovy"). Regions are distinguished by various color washes: pink for Norway and northern Lapland; yellow for Sweden and northern Russia; green for Finland and the Baltic regions; and orange for Denmark and parts of Poland. The map includes an inset in the upper left corner showing Iceland under the "Northern Ocean." The map features topographical details like mountain ranges, forests, and river systems. Several compass roses are placed in the maritime areas (North Sea, Atlantic Ocean). A large, decorative title cartouche is located in the bottom right corner. A scale box is positioned in the upper right. Latitude and longitude markings frame the entire map.
