32. SWEDISH MAP DRAWER 1789
“Geometrisk Charta Öfver IDE FJORDEN På Isen afmålt och pliktad uti Januarii och februarii Månadene År 1789.”
Ink and watercolour, 226x108x50cm in a “L-shape”
SWEDEN probably the winter 1789
UNIQUE MANUSCRIPT MAP OF THE NORWAY - SWEDEN BORDER AREA OF IDDEFJORDEN, SVINESUND AND THE ROUTE TO
HALDEN.
The large size and the special shape makes it to a very special piece. Perhaps executed in a connection with an official border commission. The
Svinesund-Halden border area was the most important between Norway/Denmark and Sweden and several war actions took place here through the
17th/18th century. This is of particular interest since it is a “winter map” and this is why the map is drawn in a “grisaille” style of colours.
Some tears, mostly marginal. A small pice without geographical information torn off, otherwise in very good original condition.
