Sweden and Scandinavia – Antique Map by F.L. Güssefeld, Homann Heirs, c.1793s
This finely engraved antique map, titled Charte über das Königreich Schweden, presents an expansive view of the Kingdom of Sweden and its surrounding regions during the late 18th century. The map was created by Franz Ludwig Güssefeld, one of the most respected German cartographers of his time, and likely published by the Homann Heirs in Nuremberg—one of Europe’s leading mapmaking firms in the 18th century.
The map displays Sweden in impressive detail, extending from Scania in the south to Lapland in the north. It also includes large portions of neighboring Norway, Finland (then under Swedish control), and the Baltic coastline, providing important geopolitical context. Regional borders, cities, towns, rivers, lakes, and mountain ranges are clearly engraved, with original hand-coloring used to delineate territories. The legend at upper left lists major provinces and towns, and the large oval title cartouche anchors the lower right corner.
Güssefeld’s work is known for its geographic precision and clarity, and this map reflects the transition in cartography from ornate baroque styles to more scientifically grounded and information-rich designs. It would have served both educational and reference purposes for scholars and political observers of the period.
This map is a valuable artifact for collectors of Scandinavian cartography, German engraving, or Enlightenment-era geography, offering insight into the shifting political landscapes of Northern Europe.
