On the left side of the image is a map showing territorial claims in North America following the Treaty of Paris in 1763, with areas color-coded for British, French, and Spanish claims. The right side of the image depicts a scene from the French and Indian War, with European soldiers firing muskets alongside Native American allies in a wooded area, reflecting the collaborative warfare tactics of the time.

The king who upset the balance of power in 17th-century Europe. But could he have achieved more?

The image is a combination of a historical map and a painting. The map is titled “Tabula exactissima Regnorum SUECIAE et NORVEGIAE” and shows the northern part of Europe, including Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and the Baltic states. The painting is Gustavus Adolphus wearing a white lace collar, typical of the fashion of that time.
