- Support as nominator – Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:59, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
- Comment I haven't done any cleaning up on this, but if that's desireable, I'd be delighted to. Adam Cuerden (talk) 16:59, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
- Support – a very nice old Homann map. Hafspajen (talk) 17:47, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
- Comment - the funny thing is that Johan Homan - with 1 n - s, is a kind of Sherlock Holmes figure in a long series of rather interesting detective stories written by a Swedish diplomat Jan Mårtenson. Hafspajen (talk) 00:13, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
- Support - (had a hard time getting here). Coat of Many Colours (talk) 17:55, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
- Support Yann (talk) 20:04, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
- Support — Gotta admit my only reason is I love old maps. This one would seem appropriate also as a cartographic artifact for Scandinavian Peninsula — of interest partly because Sweden appears somewhat bloated. (Too much lutefisk, Hafs?) Sca (talk) 21:33, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
- Support - No need to restore this one, looks fine. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 22:43, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

- Support - Great image--Godot13 (talk) 04:23, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
