Summary

[edit]

Info

[edit]
  • A part of entire map showing Koland. Olaus Magnus places there the country of Biarmia that is known by sagas. There are coats of arms of Sweden drawn even though this area was never fully controlled by Sweden and at this time it was largely unknown. White sea ("LACVS ALBVS") is mistaken as a lake. Big eagle is sometimes associated with Biarmia. A man holds two staffs with runes. People hunts animals for fur.
  • The image is amazingly detailed with lots of small characters everywhere doing characteristic tasks, which can only be seen when viewing it in full size.
  • The full title is Carta marina et Descriptio septemtrionalium terrarum ac mirabilium rerum in eis contentarum, diligentissime elaborata Annon Domini 1539 Veneciis liberalitate Reverendissimi Domini Ieronimi Quirini which in full can be read at the top of the map.
  • This image is in 72 DPI.

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
