Hand-colored map of Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxemburg. Title cartouche on the upper right corner is flanked by to men and gives credit to Abraham Ortelius. The names of the locations are in Latin, and the map's creator gives a list of all the different names used to call a given entity by Ptolemy, Pliny, Claudian, and others. The thickly forested geography is represented in the map by profiles of small trees. Verso is blank.
