An engraved map of the County of Hainaut ("Comitatus Hannoniæ") contained within an oval frame, which is itself set within a rectangular border featuring decorative floral scrolls in the corners. The map shows a detailed layout of the region, including towns, rivers, and forests. To the right, a cartouche features the map's title and a scale. The four cardinal directions—Septentrio North, Oriens East, Meridies South, and Occidens West—are printed on the border of the rectangular frame.
