A finely detailed engraved map of the Duchy of Guelders original: "GELDRIAE Ducatus". The map itself is oval-shaped, set within a rectangular frame. The four corners between the oval and the rectangle are filled with intricate black-and-white floral and foliate scrollwork. The map's orientation features the East original: "ORIENS" at the bottom border.

In the upper-left area of the oval, a decorative cartouche contains the title. At the bottom center, another cartouche contains a linear scale. The map depicts topographical features including several major rivers (Rhine, Meuse, Waal), forests, and numerous fortified towns and villages indicated by small architectural icons. Neighboring territories such as Brabant, Utrecht, and parts of Cleves and Liège are labeled.
