This map focuses on the region surrounding the major rivers in western Europe, including the Rhine, Meuse, Moselle, Saar and Scheldt Rivers. The map extends as far south as Orleans, France and Basel, Switzerland. The map is densely engraved with hundreds of tiny towns, and the river system is well detailed throughout. The decorative title cartouche features an angel and two coats of arms.
