This map of west Frisia is based on the manuscript map by Sibrandus Leo. It features excellent detail of the region's network of waterways. A strapwork cartouche featuring a satyr, a peacock, and fruit holds an inset of ancient Friesland from Augustus' time. The title appears in a banner cartouche at top. This is the second state with "D. Ioachimus Hopperus describebat" added to the inset. Latin text on verso, published in 1595.
