There is great detail in this map of Luxembourg, showing roads connecting the fortified cites and many small towns. The map extends west to Namur in Belgium, south to Thionville in France, and east to Trier and Saarlouis in Germany. The decorative cartouche includes a river god, a warrior, and the double-tailed lion on Luxembourg's coat of arms.

A nice impression with full contemporary color on a bright sheet with light toning along the centerfold, a stain at bottom right, and foxing that is mostly confined to the blank margins. There are a couple edge tears that have been archivally repaired, and remnants of hinge tape on verso.
