A detailed engraved map of the County of Flanders from the late 17th or early 18th century.

In the upper left corner, a large, ornate allegorical cartouche contains the map's title. The title is flanked by two draped female figures and several cherubs (putti). One cherub holds a trumpet, while others support a large shield in the center featuring the coat of arms of Flanders—a lion rampant.

In the top center, situated in the North Sea, is a decorative compass rose with rhumb lines extending across the water.

In the lower right corner, a smaller decorative cartouche contains the distance scales. It is adorned with floral motifs and topped with a small figure.

The map itself shows the coastal and inland geography of Flanders, including modern-day parts of Belgium, France, and the Netherlands. It features a dense network of cities (e.g., Ghent, Bruges, Ypres, Lille), villages, rivers, and roads. Coastal features include various named sandbanks and the Scheldt estuary. The border is marked with a latitude and longitude grid.
