Antique map of Scandinavia by Blaeu W. & J., oriented to the North
The map of Scandinavia shows the three kingdoms of Sweden, Denmark and Norway, the arms of which are arranged around the cartouche. The kingdom of Sweden was much larger in Blaeu's time than it is now, encompassing not only present-day Sweden but also Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Ingermanland.
