Norway Map - Adolf Stieler - 1889 Antique 19th-Century Scandinavian Historic Atlas Map

This antique map of Norway was published around 1889, providing a detailed look at Scandinavia in the late 19th century. It was crafted by German mapmaker Adolf Stieler, known for his precise Handatlas. The map covers Norway’s fjord-lined coast and mountainous interior, and also includes parts of Sweden and Finland (with insets for Christiania (Oslo) and Stockholm). The intricate topographic shading highlights Norway’s rugged terrain, and old spellings of place names add to its vintage charm. Even the far-northern Finnmark region and Arctic islands are clearly delineated, showing the full reach of Norway’s realm. The map’s legend and fine engraving make it easy to explore every fjord, border, and bay in detail.

Imagine giving it to a grandfather who reminisces about the old country, or a friend who just returned from Oslo. It’s a meaningful piece that celebrates Norway’s heritage and invites conversation. It’s also a thoughtful gift for someone who has moved away from Norway and misses home, or anyone decorating a cabin with a Nordic vibe. The map brings a sense of adventure and heritage that will resonate with viewers.
