Very nice first edition of Elin\'s Amerika.
On the front matter, there seems to be a signature of the author. I can not absolutely confirm this but I have seen other copies of this edition with no signature.
Please see photos for condition and note dust jacket wear on spine. If you have any questions or would like more information or photos please do ask. Happy to provide more detail, but I do not offer returns on this item.
Interesting history that I was not aware of:
The first Swedish expedition to America sailed from theportofGothenburgin late 1637, organized and overseen byClas Larsson Fleming, a Swedish admiral from Finland. Blommaert assisted the fitting-out and appointedPeter Minuit(the former Governor ofNew Netherland) to lead the expedition. The expedition sailed intoDelaware Bayaboard theFogel GripandKalmar Nyckel; territory that was claimed by the Dutch. They passedCape MayandCape Henlopenin late March 1638[6]and anchored on March 29 at a rocky point on the Minquas Kill that is known today asSwedes\' Landing. They built a fort at the confluence of theChristina RiverandBrandywine Creekwhich they namedFort Christinaafter their Queen (wikipedia)
