Gammel Elfborgs anfald ved Tordenskjold i 1719 1726 - 1757

This detailed map by Odvardt Helmoldt de Lode depicts the coastline of southern Sweden and the surrounding archipelago. The map, titled "Gammel Elfborgs anfald ved Tordenskjold i 1719", showcases the strategic importance of the region during the Great Northern War (1700-1721), particularly focusing on the naval battle of 1719, which resulted in the capture of the fortress of Elfsborg by the Danish navy. The map was produced between 1726 and 1757 and is currently housed in the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen. This work provides valuable insight into the history of Scandinavian cartography and naval warfare in the early 18th century.
