This is the more decorative portion of De Fer's two-sheet map of northern Europe. This part shows the Low Countries, Germany, the Czech Republic, Denmark, and a portion of Sweden. An elaborate cartouche fills the left corner of the map with scenes of war and victory, and below that is an inset map of Hven Island, the location of Tycho Brahe's observatory. The scale of miles cartouche is festooned with windheads blowing strong, wintry winds.
