A hand-colored engraved map of the Duchies of Livonia and Courland, covering the territory of modern-day Estonia and Latvia. In the upper-left corner is a large, ornate title cartouche decorated with figures, floral motifs, and two coats of arms. The map displays a high level of topographical detail, including coastal islands (such as Ösel and Dagö), river systems, forests, and numerous fortified towns and villages. Political boundaries are highlighted with hand-applied colors (green, pink, yellow, and red). Major water bodies include the Baltic Sea, the Gulf of Finland, and Lake Peipus. A scale bar is present in the lower-right corner.
