Title Translation: Finmarchia (Norwegian for Finnmark)
This antique map from 1665 depicts the region of Finnmark in northern Norway. In the early 17th century, Norway was a sparsely populated country, with most of its population living in coastal towns and villages. The economy was dominated by fishing, particularly the lucrative cod industry, and the country was ruled by the Danish-Norwegian monarchy. The Finnmark region, depicted on this map, was known for its harsh climate and rugged terrain, with vast expanses of tundra and numerous fjords and islands. Despite its challenging environment, the region was home to a small but resilient population of indigenous Sami people, who relied on reindeer herding and fishing for their livelihoods. The central locations of Tromsø, Hammerfest and Alta on the map indicate their importance as trading and fishing centres in the region.

Giclée Print Feedback:
Absolutely stellar service! Whilst I was considering my purchase Callum was extremely helpful and friendly, taking the time to actually talk to me rather than keep to business – how refreshing and genuine! I made my purchase quite late in the evening and was surprised to receive notification that it had been dispatched the following day! Lo and behold, I received the print within 48 hours – a remarkably quick turnaround!
Certainly no need to worry about Christmas delivery times! As for the print I bought – perfect… exceptional quality, with fine detail captured without fault. It’s on nice thick paper and packaged with care. I’ll definitely be back for more – I’ve already eyed up my next one!
