Nederlands: In 1631 gaf koning Christian IV of Denmark opdracht gegeven om zijn hele rijk, waartoe ook Noorwegen en een deel van Zweden behoorden, in kaart te brengen. Joan Blaeu (1598-1673) wist als enige beslag te leggen op de resultaten van deze omvangrijke topografische opname. In 1662 publiceerde hij een belangrijk deel van dat nieuwe kaartmateriaal in het eerste deel van de Atlas Maior. Daartoe behoorde ook deze kaart van Noorwegen - een van de weinige vroege afzonderlijke afbeeldingen van het land.; Rechtsonder een opdracht van Joan Blaeu aan koning Christiaan van Denemarken.
