This detailed map focuses on the theater of war during the Thirty Years' War, and in particular battles involving Gustavus Adolphus, King of Sweden, who died in the Battle of Lützen. The map extends from the North Sea to the Baltic Sea, and as far south as Lake Geneva. Battle sites are identified with crossed swords, and several panels of text describe the major battles. The title cartouche features Fame, Justice, and a soldier with weaponry.
