A 17th-century hand-colored map of the Kingdom of Denmark by Nicolaus Visscher, including Jutland, the Danish islands, southern Sweden, southern Norway, and northern German territories. The top-left cartouche displays the royal coat of arms of King Christian V of Denmark and Norway, surrounded by heraldic collars and military motifs. The top-right cartouche features the title, the three lions of Denmark supported by "wild men," and a scene of livestock. The seas are filled with Dutch-style sailing vessels.

To the most powerful and invincible Lord Christian V, King of Denmark, Norway, the Goths, and the Vandals, etc., this map of Denmark is dedicated by Nicolaus Visscher.
