Karta öfver segelleden från Stockholm kanalvägen till Götheborg, jemte fyrtifyra utsigter (1856) / Karta Ofver segelleden fran Stockholm kanalvagen till Gotheborg, jemte fyrtifyra utsigter
Stockholm: Adolf Huldberg, 1856. Hardcover. A mid-19th century map showing the route from Stockholm to Gothenburg, almost 500 km southeast of Stockholm, charting routes for boats as well as by land. Accordion folded in 24 sections measuring 92 inches (234 cm) x 9 inches (23 cm), most comforming in dimensions to the map identified in OCLC as published by Huldberg and published in 1856--also 234 cm and measuring 24 cm in width (the hardback folder for this map measures 24 cm). But the Huldberg map on OCLC is '38 pages' and ours has 24 panels. The discrepancy might mean there was an accompanying pamphlet describing sites and places of note along the route. The folder of our copy is so faded we cannot discern any publisher's information and the map itself has none. Map is very good, partly hand colored, exquisite engravings and views along the sides and at the beginning and end. Good. Item #H3432
