DescriptionThis map contains a bird's eye view of the city of Hamburg, modern-day Germany, and a depiction of the fields surrounding the city, the bridges over a river that surrounds the city, and a river that is filled with ships. The aerial view of Hamburg shows the church and domestic buildings with red roofs. Two regal figures, one male and one female, face the viewer in the lower right foreground dressed in black. There is a thin black border with a heraldic crest in the upper left, and a detailed index of placenames on the map in Latin below.On View
