I received the below request the other day and was wondering if anyone knew the answer. My very limited expertiese is mainly government maps so I really don't know where to look for reprints and such. Thanks! You can reply off list to my mtu address: [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> Rhianna Hello Rhianna, Thank you for returning my call and offering to put this question onto the listserv. I have a Richard Blome map: "A generall mappe of Scandinavia, where are the estates and kingdomes of Danemark, Norway and Sweden...." It is the 1669 version with the "Despaire Not .... Eastland Merchants" crest in the upper-left-hand corner. It has been colored. It is not printed on machine-made paper -- there are wire marks - only horizontal. I would like to know if anybody knows of a reprint of this map (on above-described paper) - or if I indeed have a 1669 map. Alternatively, I would like any advice on dating the map or ascertaining its authenticity. Thank you, -- Government Documents Librarian J.
