Description
Hermelins atlas was the first comprehensive mapping of Sweden and Finland. An earlier attempt by "Kongl. Landtmäteri Contoiret" in the 18th century, did not manage to cover the entire country.
Samuel Gustav Hermelin launched his major cartographic undertaking as a private citizen. Unfortunately he suffered substantial economic loss. Due to economic difficulties the work, in its later stages, was continued by "Geographisk Inrättning", a private company before the government bought the plates, and the rights, to the work in the 1820s.
The atlas was published 1796-1818. The Finnish part of the atlas was produced a few years before Sweden lost Finland to Russia.
Hermelin (Samuel Gustaf, Baron) was a Swedish cartographer, mineralogist and patriot, born on 4 April 1744 and died in Stockholm on 4 March 1820. He made explorations (1782-1784) in Germany, France, in North America and the British Isles, and on his return he introduced his improvements in the exploitation of mines in Falun. He was quit successful and established factories, sawmills, settled in Norrbotten, brought dry marsh, he build roads and discovered the rich mines Gellivare. He prepare maps and published an "Atlas of Sweden and the Finland (1797-1807)", unfortunately the project failed and only 58 maps were published.

Color Key
We offer many maps in their original black and white condition. We do not systematically color-up maps to make them more sellable to the general public or buyer.
Copper engraved or wood block maps are always hand colored. Maps were initially colored for aesthetic reasons and to improve readability. Nowadays, it is becoming a challenge to find maps in their original colors and are therefor more valuable.
We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century.
