This attractive map of Estonia and Latvia shows the fortified towns of Goldingen and Derpt and is filled with hundreds of tiny villages, forests, marshes, mountains and rivers. The islands of Saaramaa and Hiiumaa (Dagho, Oesel) are prominent in the Gulf of Riga. The sheet is decorated with a drape-style title cartouche held aloft by weapon-wielding putti and a scale cartouche in the opposite corner.

A crisp impression on a bright sheet with contemporary color in the map and later color in the cartouches. There is light soiling, toning along the edges of the sheet, and some damp staining at bottom that just enters the map border. Trimmed to the neatline at left and into the border at bottom as issued, and the bottom margin has been extended a bit to accommodate framing.
