This handsome German map centers on the Szczecin Lagoon and covers the area surrounding the modern-day border between Germany and Poland. The map spans from Halberstadt east to Gdansk and extends to show some of the Danish islands, most notably Lolland and Falster. It is rich with detail, showing political boundaries, towns, cities, rivers, and forests. An elaborate title cartouche dominates the upper right corner of the map image, featuring coats-of-arms and mythological figures, including Mercury, Athena, Fame, and river gods.
