This charming small plan of Vienna extends to show the Danube River beyond the outskirts of the city. A key at left identifies 45 places of note in the city, including several churches and convents. In the Danube, a compass rose capped with a fleur-de-lis orients the north to the top right of the sheet. An ornate title cartouche appears in the top right corner.
