Delisle was an important French cartographer of the early 18th century. He held the position of First Royal Geograp-her to the King. Two attractive maps of Scandanavia. The first one showing the northern regions of Norway, Sweden, including the islands and fjords, Finland and part of western Russia. A grandiose cartouche upper left. The second map has an interesting perspective showing the Baltic Sea in the centre and the lower parts of Norway, Sweden, Finland and all of Denmark to the west whilst northern Poland and Eastern states including Estonia are shown in the east.

Overall both in very good condition. Some minor darker patches in margin corners but not affecting image. Minor foxing on images.
