Swedish map, 1691 (detail) 2 comments

This is a detail from a map of Östergötland, Sweden. The maps were created in the late 1600s, and describe in exhaustive detail farms, manors and other significant dwellings of the time. I get completely fascinated by them, not least in trying to decipher the archaic Swedish and embellished writing. Many places are described according to their usage and worth, e.g. "here is a little bit of fish but not much else of use." This is one of my favorites - the area just north of the center of this map is labelled "oduglig backe" which in Swedish means "piece of crap hill."

Wow, not very considerate of our guest! I was thinking something like Open Season, The Great Outdoors or at least Paddington would be more appropriate... *snuggles bear*
