PUFENDORF, SAMUEL VON. Engraved plate with the folding panoramic view of Stockholm depicting the funeral ceremonies of Charles X Gustav.

The large funeral plate, here joined together, about 285x4500 mm. Some wearing, some minor tears in margin and small repairs, some spotting.
Inset in a later half calf folder.

Probably from the Latin edition of Samuel Pufendorf´s "De Rebus a Carolo Gustavo" published in 1696. A German edition was published in 1697.
The writing of this official history of the Swedish wars with Poland and Denmark from 1655 to 1660 was entrusted by king Charles XI to Samuel Pufendorf, a German historian and expert on international law, who held the first chair of history at the new university of Lund (1668-1676) and was the official Historiographer of the Realm from 1676 until 1689. (Sten G. Lindberg: Swedish Books 1280-1967.)
