This oval map of the province of Groningen and the Ems estuary is enclosed in a decorative strapwork surround. It shows Gronningen, Netherlands on the left and Emden, Germany on the right. The map shows the Dollert (Dollart), a large basin in the estuary, with a note about the 1277 flooding of the villages when it formed. Despite its small size, there is much detail shown on the map. This is the second state, with Cum Privil. added below the distance scale. Latin text on verso.
