This pair of maps focuses on parts of southern Brandenburg and Saxony along the border with Poland. On the northern sheet, the Odra River borders the superb title cartouche, which features industrious people and is decorated with the coat of arms. The maps are densely engraved with hundreds of tiny towns, political boundaries, rivers, canals, lakes, marshes, and forests. The maps include the cities of Gubin, Lubben, Cottbus, Luckau, Spremberg, Gorlitz and Zittau.
