EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable passport card depicting a part of the stunning coast of Finnmark in Norway. The card extends from C. Tromsondt to Tiepena, encompassing both Finnmark and Lapland. With its intricate details, this historical artifact offers a glimpse into the past. The passport card features two compass roses, with the North positioned below, guiding travelers on their journeys along these coastal regions. At the top right corner, an elegant cartouche displays the title and address of the publisher, adorned with four playful putti engaged in a game of blind man's buff. Intriguingly, the bottom right section presents a scale depicted in German, Spanish, and English or French miles (scale: approximately 1:900 000). This scale is surrounded by depictions of boats carrying traders and merchandise while cupids known as amores or amoretti add an enchanting touch to the scene. Notably, this extraordinary engraving also incorporates elements from mythology; Neptune (Poseidon) himself makes an appearance within its composition. Created by Jan Luyken in Amsterdam between 1681 and 1799 using paper as his canvas for engraving techniques. Overall, this print captures not only a piece of history but also showcases the beauty and significance of Finnmark's coastal landscape through artistry that has stood the test of time.
