A chart of the Kattegat, the primary passage between the North and Baltic Seas, shows south to Copenhagen and just beyond Samso Island, north to Tjorn Island, Sweden. First published in 1848, revised to 1860. An attractive and rare chart of one of the busiest sea lanes in the world.

Good. Some spotting and creasing as in image. Original blue paper backing. Size 22 x 36.25 Inches. This is an 1820 Royal Danish Nautical Charts Archive nautical chart or map of the Skagerrak and the Kattegat, two straits in Scandinavia. Depicting the region from southern Norway to the western coast of Sweden, rhumb lines criss-cross the illustrated sea areas, serving as navigational aids. Depth soundings appear along the Danish and Swedish coasts and along essential sea lanes, but are curiously absent from the Norwegian coastline. Coastal islands are illustrated and labeled. The presence of manuscript notes suggests this chart was sailed. Blueback Charts Blueback nautical charts began appearing in London in the late 18th century. Bluebacks, as they came to be called, were privately published large-format nautical charts known for their distinctive blue paper backing. The backing, a commonly available blue manila paper traditionally used by publishers to wrap unbound pamphlets, was adopted as a practical way to reinforce the low-quality paper used by private chart publishers in an effort to cut costs. The earliest known blueback charts include a 1760 chart issued by Mount and Page, and a 1787 chart issued by Robert Sayer. The tradition took off in the early 19th century, when British publishers like John Hamilton Moore, Robert Blachford, James Imray, William Heather, John William Norie, Charles Wilson, David Steel, R. H. Laurie, and John Hobbs, among others, rose to dominate the chart trade. Bluebacks became so popular that the convention was embraced by chartmakers outside of England, including Americans Edmund March Blunt and George Eldridge, as well as Scandinavian, French, German, Russian, and Spanish chartmakers. Blueback charts remained popular until the late 19th century, when government subsidized organizations like the British Admiralty Hydrographic Office and the United States Coast Survey, began issuing their own superior charts on high quality paper that did not require reinforcement.

Working nautical chart with manuscript annotations of a maritime nature. Laid down on archival tissue. Exhibits some soiling. Closed tears professionally repaired on verso. Size 35.25 x 22.75 Inches. This is an 1820 Royal Danish Nautical Charts Archive nautical chart or maritime map of the Kattegat, the strait between Denmark and Sweden. This is one of the most actively navigated bodies of water in the world. With Denmark on the left and Sweden on the right, myriad islands appear along Sweden's coastline, and the many islands dotting the strait are illustrated and labeled. Depth soundings and rhumb lines provide navigational aids. Manuscript notes suggest that this chart was used aboard ship. The Kattegat Bordered by the Jutland Peninsula to the west and Sweden to the east, the Kattegat is a shallow sea that can be dangerous and difficult to navigate. Sandy and stony reefs abound, and it's tricky currents shift regularly. Before the completion of the Eider Canal in 1784, the Kattegat was the only way to access the Baltic region by sea. The Danish royal family began imposing dues on shipping in 1429. The dues were then continued by Denmark until 1857. Today, a network of improvements has been created to safeguard the immense amount of international maritime traffic that passes through the region. Many of its reefs have been dredged and several artificial channels have been dug. An extensive light-signaling network has also been installed. This map was created by the Royal Danish Nautical Charts Archive and published in 1820. Two examples are cataloged in OCLC and are part of the institutional collections at the Bibliotheque nordique in Paris and the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen. References: OCLC 1153438805.
