"Map of Asia Minor showing Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Lapland, Poland, Turkey, Russia and the Moscow region, c.1626" is a historical map created by the Dutch cartographer Nicolaes (Claes) Jansz Visscher. As a prominent figure in the Golden Age of Dutch cartography, Visscher's work is renowned for its detail and artistry. This particular map, dating from around 1626, is an intricate depiction of Asia Minor, a term historically used to refer to the westernmost protrusion of Asia, which comprises most of modern-day Turkey.

The map is notable for its inclusion of regions that are not geographically part of Asia Minor, such as Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Lapland (the region in the northernmost part of Scandinavia), Poland, and parts of Russia, including the Moscow region. This reflects the cartographic conventions and geopolitical understanding of the time, which often differed from modern perspectives. Visscher's map is a valuable historical document that offers insights into the European view of the world in the early 17th century.

Nicolaes Visscher's maps are characterized by their elaborate decorative elements, including ornate cartouches and detailed illustrations, which often depicted scenes of local life, flora, and fauna. His work contributed to the Dutch reputation for high-quality mapmaking during a period when maps were essential for navigation, trade, and the assertion of territorial claims.

The "Map of Asia Minor showing Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Lapland, Poland, Turkey, Russia and the Moscow region, c.1626" is not only a testament to Visscher's skill as a cartographer but also an artifact of the era's cultural and scientific knowledge.
