The area of northeast Germany and western Poland is shown in minute detail. The city of Poznan in Poland borders the scale cartouche in the lower right and the Danish islands peek into the upper left. Also includes Frankfurt, Brandenburg and Berlin. A drape-style cartouche is held aloft by putti and displays two coats of arms.

A nice impression with contemporary color in the map and later color in the cartouches, on a bright, watermarked sheet. There is light toning along the centerfold, marginal soiling, and several small worm tracks that have been repaired on verso.
