An exceptionally detailed early eighteenth-century copperplate engraving depicting the historic site of Vittalia (modern Vetlanda) in Småland, Sweden.

Original Latin title: Situs perpetuæ et ad memoriam posteritatis celeberrima quondam Urbis Vittaliæ in Smalandia. Engraved by S.V.D. Arnelin. From Suecia Antiqua et Hodierna. Published in Stockholm, 1703.
