This striking map spans from Berlin south to the northern part of Austria. It centers on the present-day Czech Republic and includes portions of eastern Germany, western Poland, and northern Austria. There is good topographical detail and a number of towns and cities are identified, including Prague, Berlin, Dresden, and Wroclaw. A key at bottom right locates capital cities, smaller cities, royal cities, episcopal sees, and the intricacies of the political divisions. The ornate title cartouche features four coats of arms: Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, and Lusatia.
