A detailed, hand-colored engraved map of the Duchy of Schleswig (Ducatus Slesvicensis). The map displays the peninsula and surrounding islands between the North Sea (labeled GERMAN SEA and Commonly NORTH SEA) to the west and the Baltic Sea (EAST SEA) to the east. Administrative regions (Prefectures and Provinces) are outlined in various colors. In the top right corner, a decorative cartouche is supported by four winged putti holding a red cloth banner containing the title. In the bottom right corner, another decorative element includes a scale bar with a reclining cherub holding a pair of dividers, next to a coat of arms featuring two blue lions passant on a yellow shield.
