Note:
Second edition, lithograph with original outline hand color, 57.5x70 dissected into 18 sections, 19.5x11.5 and mounted on linen in Icelandic / French. Issued, with the tracks of a 19th Century voyage in manuscript, it represents the first accurate topographical map of Iceland. First published in 1844. Based on twelve years of surveys conducted by the Icelandic mathematician Bjorn Gunnlaugsson, which were compiled and designed by the Danish military engineer Olaf Olsen, the map accurately depicts the radically varied topography of Iceland for the very first time. Map showing towns, villages, mountains, rivers, lakes, glaciers, creeks, lava beds, forests, bridges, roads, etc. The detailed chart on the left side of the map, 'Positions geographiques', notes the geodetic coordinates of dozens of locations across Iceland. The chart on the right-hand side, labeled 'Communes', notes all of the towns and villages on the island, grouped by county. Includes legend on the bottom of the map. Relief shown by hachures and shadings.
