Baltic approaches, inland routes and the reach towards Finland and the Arctic tie maps of Sweden closely to the rest of Scandinavia. Sheets by Letts, Lowry, Fullarton and Johnston appear here, some showing Sweden and Norway together and others concentrating on the south, and the scope of each original atlas explains why neighbouring countries appear. Railways, lighthouses and physical features add detail to the political outlines, and comparing dates shows changes in transport and territorial description. The collection spans early mapping into the twentieth century and includes prints.
