A very attractive 1830 blueback nautical chart or maritime map illustrating the waters around Copenhagen, and the Öresund Strait (The Sound) between Denmark and Sweden. Along the coastline Danish towns and villages are illustrated using tiny vignettes, presumably somewhat accurate to fact. There are several additional vignettes illustrating prominent castles, churches, villages, and estates. Unlike most early blueback charts, the present chart exhibits old color to distinguish between land and sea. This is a working sea chart and bears signs of use, including pen annotations relating to shipboard triangulation work. (more details)
