DANMARKSKORT - WILLIAM BERRY.

The Kingdom of Denmark subdivided into its Principall Provinces.

London, William Berry, (1689). 56x87 cm. Large engraved map of Denmark in original outline colouring. Perhaps the largest engraved map of Denmark from the 17th century.

Berry is sometimes called the English Sanson as he copied Sanson's maps and his followers Jaillot, Seller and Senex. This scarce map is a copy of Jaillot's map from 1674 in spite of the printed information "Described by Sanson, corrected and amended by William Berry." The large map shows "Schonen, Blecking, Halland, Dukedom of Sleswick and the Diocess of Holstein."

Bramsen p. 11 (kartoushen) and p. 120.
