A lovely bird's-eye plan of Braunschweig (Brunswick) and the surrounding countryside. The city streets and impressive fortifications are graphically depicted. Over 40 locations are identified in a numbered key at bottom left. A compass rose orients north to the top right of the sheet. The charming distance scale is depicted as a ruler laying across a fallen tree branch.
