A panoramic engraving of the cities of Berlin and Cölln, seen from a distance across a rural landscape. The image is enclosed in a decorative rectangular frame with a foliate pattern. At the top center, a large, heavy garland of fruit and flowers is draped from the border. In the foreground, several peasants are shown harvesting hay. To the left, men work around a high-piled hay wagon; in the center, a team of two horses is harnessed to another wagon; to the right, a man with a pitchfork and a woman carrying a basket walk along a path. Other figures are seen resting or working in the fields behind them. A long, straight row of trees lines a path on the right side leading towards the city. The background features a detailed skyline of the twin cities, dominated by the spires of various churches and the substantial structure of the Berlin City Palace (Berliner Schloss). The sky is vast with light, horizontal clouds and several small birds in flight.
