Painting Description
"Veteris Orbis Arctoi Typus" is a historical map of Scandinavia created by the Swedish engineer, soldier, and draftsman Erik Jonsson Dahlberg around 1715. This handcoloured copperplate engraving measures approximately 27 x 32 cm and serves as an important cartographic document from the early 18th century, reflecting the geographical understanding of the Nordic region during that period.
Erik Jonsson Dahlberg (1625–1703), known for his contributions to military architecture and fortifications, also left a significant legacy in the field of cartography. Although he passed away before the publication of "Veteris Orbis Arctoi Typus," his works were often published posthumously, indicating the enduring value of his detailed surveys and artistic skill.
The map itself is a testament to the cartographic techniques and aesthetic preferences of the time, featuring the characteristic hand coloring that was common in engraved maps of the era. The title suggests a focus on the ancient Northern world, possibly providing insights into the historical and geographical knowledge of Scandinavia as understood in the early 18th century.
As a historical artifact, "Veteris Orbis Arctoi Typus" not only offers a glimpse into the past landscape of Scandinavia but also reflects the broader European interest in documenting and understanding the world through cartography. The map would be of particular interest to historians, geographers, and collectors of antique maps, as well as to anyone with an appreciation for the art and science of map-making during the Age of Enlightenment.
