This decorative map centers on a small plan of Copenhagen and extends to include the nearby cities of Helsingor, Helsingborg, Landskroma, Malmo, and Koge, all of which appear in plan form. The map identifies smaller towns and villages in the region and names the islands of Ween (Ven) and Saltzholm (Saltholm) in Der Sondsund (the Oresund). Several ships fill the Sound, and the Danish fleet is shown anchored in Koge Bay. At top left, there are three small views of Helsingborg, Landskroma, and Malmo. Another view at right presents the beautiful Renaissance-era Kronborg Castle, the basis for Elsinore in Hamlet. Across the bottom of the sheet is a stunning view of Copenhagen and its fortifications with the harbor in the background.
