It includes part of western Sweden, the northern coast of present-day Estonia, and a portion of Russia. There is excellent detail of the mountainous terrain and the network of waterways, and many towns and cities are identified. The elegant title cartouche features the greater coat of arms of Sweden, Neptune with his trident, Fortuna with her scale, and other allegorical figures. This state features Lotter's imprint.
