A detailed copperplate engraved map of the historical region of Holland and adjacent areas, oriented with North at the top. The sea areas (German Ocean and Southern Sea) are filled with numerous sailing vessels of various types and a large, central compass rose with radiating rhumb lines. The coastline and inland waterways are depicted with numerous towns and cities marked by small architectural icons and labeled. Topographic details such as forests and dunes are sketched in. Two large coats of arms appear in the upper corners: the imperial double-headed eagle on the left and a rampant lion on the right. A large, ornate strapwork cartouche on the left contains the map's title and publication details. A decorative banner with the name "HOLLANDIA" is positioned near the center top.
