A hand-colored panoramic engraving of the city of 's-Hertogenbosch (Latin: Buscum Ducis) from a distance. The city is depicted with its extensive defensive walls, numerous church spires, and several monumental gates. The Cathedral of St. John (S. Johan) dominates the center of the skyline. In the foreground, the river Dieze (labeled DIESE FLV.) flows to the left, with small boats and figures walking along the banks. To the right, rural scenes including a small farmhouse, cattle, and people working in fields are visible. Labels in Dutch and Latin identify specific landmarks across the horizon. A decorative cartouche in the bottom right corner contains a Latin description of the city.

BUSCUM DUCIS original: "BUSCUM DUCIS", refers to 's-Hertogenbosch, meaning "Duke's Forest" is a town noble for its school and warlike people. In previous years, the Frisians have felt its arms more than once, just as the people of Guelders have, with whom there has been combat of varying outcomes: text potentially corrupt in source; translated as rendered. In this city, there is a temple sacred to the Mother of God, a work worthy of being seen, writes Hadrianus Barlandus.
