This old, full colour and wonderful map shows Sweden, Norway and Russian Finland as it was in 1872. It was engraved by G.H. Swanston and published by A. Fullarton & Co.
You may not know this, but between 1809 and 1917 Finland was known as the Grand Duchy of Finland and was part of the Russian Empire. And before that, it was owned by the King of Sweden.
This map looks great at all sizes: 12x16 inches (31x41cm), 18x24 inches (45.5x61cm), and 24x30 inches (61x76cm), but it looks even better when printed large.
I can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 70 inches (180cm). Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options.
The model in the listing images is holding the 20x16 inch (50x40cm) version of this map.
Please note, the unframed 24x30 inch map has white edges around the map. These edges can help you with framing, or if you don’t need them, they are very easy to snip off with scissors. All other maps, including the framed maps, look exactly like the listing images.
If you’re looking for more options, I have another interesting map of Scandinavia from 1539, Carta Marina by Olaus Magnus.
The map includes Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Baltic Sea and Gulf of Bothnia - and of course, all of the major towns and cities of these countries as well.
This would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, Father's Day, work leaving or housewarming gift for someone from one from the Northern European countries or has Scandinavia in their heart.
This map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
