This is a very detailed map of Lower Hessen with its individual duchies and territories showing place names, rivers, woods, and mountains. Kassel is at the center of the map, with Paderborn in the northwest, Fulda in the south and Gotha in the east. The upper corners are adorned with a drape-style title cartouche held aloft by cherubs and a hunting scene.
