This tiny map shows the historical region of Prussia in northeastern Europe extending from the south-eastern coast of the Baltic Sea to the Masurian Lake District. The region is now divided between Poland, Russia, and Lithuania. French text on verso.

The map was first published by Cornelius Claesz and printed by Barent Langenes in the 1598 edition of the popular Map-treasury. For the 1599 edition, graduation lines and latitude numerals were added to one side of the border on most of the maps, which were again used for multiple editions through 1650. This is the second state with the added graduation lines from a French edition, printed by Albert Hendricks.
