It spans from Geneva east to Presburg (Bratislava) in the east, and from Nuremberg south to Rome. The course of the Danube is prominently shown from its headwaters in the Alps to its confluence with the Morava River. There is a decorative cartouche held up by putti featuring four distance scales and a key.
