A hand-colored engraved map of Russia and neighboring territories, titled "White Russia or Muscovy." The map depicts regions from the "Northern Ocean" (Arctic Ocean) in the north to the "Black Sea, formerly Pontus Euxinus" in the south, and from the Baltic regions in the west to "Siberia" and "Greater Tartary" in the east. In the upper-left corner, a large decorative cartouche is supported by cherubs, featuring a title in French. In the upper-right corner, a scale bar box lists eight different measurement systems. Territorial boundaries are highlighted with various colors (pink, yellow, green, orange). Mountains, forests, and river systems are illustrated with pictorial symbols.
