A SET OF FOUR, A MASTERPIECE WITHIN CARTOGRAPHIC ODDITIES

Besides his large production of maps and other printed plates, Matthäus Seutter (Augsburg 1678 – 1757) is famous 

for making a splendid set named “The Colossus series” published in Nuremberg c. 1730. In tabular form they give 

information of the pope in full robes, covered with a list of all the popes from the first to the seventeenth century; a 

warrior king in brilliant black robes, covered with text listing kings of the various countries of Europe from the first to 

seventeenth century; and an “Elector” in full robes, covered with text listing all the rulers and major nobles from the Holy 

Roman Empire. 

The set is excellent.

“Colossus Monarchic Statua Danielis”

Contemporary hand-coloured engraving, 57x49cm

AUGSBURG  c. 1730

The figure of Colossus, with sword and scepter, represents Daniel’s 

interpretation of King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream (Da. 2:39-40). He was a 

powerful Babylonian king who conquered Judea during the sixth century 

B.C. In the Biblical story, the king dreams of a mighty image with a head of 

gold, breast and arms of silver, belly and thighs of brass, legs of iron, and 

feet of iron and clay. Daniel, a Jew exiled in Babylon, interprets the image 

to represent once and future kingdoms, with Nebuchadnezzar as the head 

of gold. The plate depicts the four kingdoms as Assyrian, Persian, Greek, 

and Roman. The Colossus’s Western leg includes the German and Austrian 

realms.

“The Polar Night - Fram stuck in the ice” 

Lithograph, 38x2x49,7cm, signed in pencil lower right “Fridtjof Nansen” and inscribed by the artist “Alexander Nansen 

til minne om Fram=færden 1893 – 96 I taknemmelighet fra trofast bistann fra hans hengivne bror Fridtjof”

Executed c. 1920

This print of “Fram” is regarded as one of Fridtjof Nansen’s most famous artist works. L. Østby says on page 36: “Som 

grafisk blad star nok imidlertid “Fram i vinternatten” i en særstilling. Her er det, bl.a. med skraping, oppnådd en fin og 

hel tone, skruisen og skuteriggen star mykt og likevel med et mylder av omhyggelig utførte detaljer mot nattehimmelen 

med halvmånen og de par blinkende stjerner”. 

Small but ample margins at top and sides.

Galleri Bygdøy Allé - Kunstantikvariat Pama

Very little is known about the artist others than he was the cousin of W.M. Conway and followed him on the Expedition 

to Spitsbergen 1896 – 97. In the book and account of the Expedition, “The First Crossing of Spitsbergen” 1897 W.M. 

Conway says on page 10: “My cousin, H.E. Conway, came as the artist of the expedition. He worked industriously and 

with no little skill in most uncomfortable surroundings and ungenial weather. The present volume contains many of his 

notes, whilst his sketches in water-colour and oil have already been exhibited to the public”

The views and sketches are in pen, watercolour partly heightened in white and gouache. The dimensions are maximum c. 

25x35cm. Several are signed or with the artist’s monogram. With pencil notations and numbers used for the printer. 

Provenance: Sigurd G. Helle  (Norway 1920 – 2013). Sigurd Helle was a Geographer and Polar researcher as well as a 

collector in many fields. He was more times in the Antarctic and was the leader of the Norwegian Antarctic Expedition 

1956 – 60.

“Schonlandia XIII Nova Tabula”

Woodcut, 25,5x34,5cm

BASEL  1540

A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF AN 

IMPORTANT EARLY MAP OF 

THE NORTH COMPILED BY 

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT 

MAP PUBLISHERS OF THE 16TH 

CENTURY.

Cartographically it is based on the 

J. Ziegler map (see entry 50), but 

extends further north to show an 

Arctic ocean. There are only two 

issues of the first Münster map. The 

differences are just small alterations 

in the text as well as to the leaves 

before and after the title. Already in 

1544 it was replaced by a new map 

now based on Olaus Magnus and his 

“Carta Marina” (see entry 18).             

Literature: W. B. Ginsberg “Printed Maps 

of Scandinavia and the Arctic 1482 - 1601”

Elegant map of Scandinavia based 

on Ziegler (1532).  Giacomo 

Gastaldi is one of the most famous 

representatives among several 

cartographers in Venice mid-1500. His 

edition of Ptolemy’s “Geographia» 

contained sixty maps, the most 

extensive to date. The atlas was never 

republished and the individual map is 

difficult to obtain.

Johannes Flintoe “Lørdagsfrieri”

 En av kunstnerens mest berømte laveringer

(Tidligere Koppangtunet Hotell)

For både Kunstantikvariat PAMA AS og Pål Sagen blir mye av hverdag og fritid benyttet til pleie og 

håndtering av hva vi gjerne kaller “Den Norske Kulturarven”. Med dette som bakgrunn, og ikke uten 

en stor porsjon ydmykhet, annonseres det at vi fra 1. mars 2014 har ervervet det som skal bli:

Hotellanlegget i Koppang sentrum består av et nyere 

hotellbygg, en scenebygning og 8 gamle tømmerhus 

1600 – 1800 samlet i et tun. Ett av byggene er den 

berømte og unike “Barfrøstua” som er fredet av 

Riksantikvaren.

Våre ideer er å utvikle stedet til aktiv benyttelse 

innen kunst- og kulturformidling og med fokus på 

servering av norsk kvalitetsmat.

Som innehavere av den største privateide samlingen med 

verker av Johannes Flintoe og Wilhelm M. Carpelan er 

det planer om å benytte ett av byggene, “Østerdalsstua” 

til museum. Her kan også viktige kulturelle gjenstander 

vedrørende Østerdalen og våre fjellområder komme i sitt 

rette miljø.

Med vennlig hilsen

Pål Sagen
