Detailed map centered on Weissenfels in the Sachsen-Anhalt region of Germany, bounded by the town of Lutzkewitz in the east, Stohsen in the west and Droysig in the south. The map is illuminated by a stunning cartouche with a queen's coronation attended by a host of cupids on the top and Father Time on the bottom. The explanatory table is festooned with plants, shells and tools of agriculture. There is also a very beautiful compass rose in the corner.
