This handsome map is filled with information on towns, political boundaries, rivers, archbishoprics, universities, and more. The map extends to include Belgium, Luxembourg, and parts of Britain, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy. The decorative title cartouche features the royal coat of arms, angels, merfolk, and sea monsters. An alternate Latin title appears above the map: "Galliae Regnum in Omnes Suas Provincias Accurate Divisum, ad usum Serenissimi Burgundiae Ducis."
