A hand-colored engraved map of the United Provinces of the Netherlands. The map shows the coastal and inland regions of the Low Countries, with provinces such as Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Gelderland, Overijssel, Friesland, and Groningen outlined in various colors. In the upper left corner, a large allegorical cartouche displays the title; it features a shield with the Dutch lion, a figure of Fame blowing a trumpet, Neptune with his trident, and a personification of the Netherlands. A compass rose is positioned in the North Sea. The "ZUYDER ZEE" is prominent in the center. In the bottom right corner, a decorative architectural frame contains scale bars and publication information.
