Nederlands: Op deze kaart zijn de Baltische staten Letland en Estland afgebeeld. Sinds het verdrag van Altmar van 1629 was dit gebied een Zweedse provincie, met een hoofdzakelijk Duitstalige bevolking. Deze kaart werd in 1662 gepubliceerd in het tweede deel van de
Atlas Maior van
Joan Blaeu (1598-1673). Voor de afbeelding van het gebied greep Blaeu terug op een grote wandkaart van Skandinavië van
Anders Bureus (1571-1661) uit 1626.

Anders Bureus (1571-1661), who was head of the topographical survey.
