Summary/Abstract: In this article we analyze the iconographic and cartographic works byErik Dahlbergh concerning the territory of the Commonwealth, created in the1655–1660 period. They were transferred to copperplates and published in thework by Samuel Pufendorf De rebus a Carolo Gustavo Sueciae gestis. The articlepresents the current state of research on the reliability of the prints. Based onthe collected material, I refer to methodological assumptions that researchersanalyzing the output of Dahlbergh should take into consideration. I discuss theissues of fortifications and significant military elements, the landscapes, andelements of figural staffage. I point to the need to extend the source databaseof Dahlbergh’s works with the existing drawings and handwritten materials.
