A hand-colored engraved map titled "DVCATVS LVNEBVRGENSIS," depicting the Duchy of Lüneburg and adjacent regions. The map features a highly decorative title cartouche in the upper left corner, adorned with scrolls, masks, and fruit. In the upper right corner, a smaller cartouche displays two linear scales for German and French miles, topped with a pair of dividers.
The topography includes numerous small town icons with red roofs, shaded green forests (represented by clusters of trees), and winding blue-tinted river systems including the Albis (Elbe). Regional boundaries are delineated with colored lines (yellow, red, and green). Large regional names are printed across their respective territories. The map is bordered by a graduated latitude and longitude scale, with cardinal directions labeled in Latin: Septentrio (North), Meridies (South), Oriens (East), and Occidens (West).
At the bottom left, a small imprint note indicates the publisher.
