This is a magnificent, large map of Estonia and Latvia. It shows the fortified towns of Goldingen and Derpt and is filled with many detail on villages, owns, topography, forests, marshes, mountains and rivers. The islands of Saaramaa and Hiiumaa (Dagho, Oesel) are prominent in the Gulf of Riga. The sheet is decorated with a drape-style title cartouche held aloft by weapon-wielding putti and a scale cartouche in the opposite corner.
