This map of Bohemia includes all of present-day Czech Republic, and extends into Germany to Leipzig and Frankfurt an der Oder, and into Poland to Poznan and Wrocław. The map is densely engraving with hundreds of tiny towns, with larger cities depicted as miniature bird's-eye plans. The title cartouche features Ceres, goddess of grain and harvest, a putto, and the arms of the regions.
