The map depicts the Kingdom of Poland divided into provinces, stretching from Pomerania and Courland in the north to Hungary and Moldavia in the south, and from Silesia in the west to Russia and Ukraine in the east. The provinces and major administrative divisions are highlighted with contemporary hand-coloring, and the map provides detailed depictions of numerous towns, rivers, roads, and other geographical features. The elegant cartouche in the upper left corner is adorned with a pastoral engraving depicting tall coniferous and deciduous trees as well as rural stone buildings set against a gently rolling landscape.
The map was published in Antonio Zatta’s *Atlante Novissimo* and is an adaptation of Giovanni Antonio Rizzi-Zannoni’s map of Poland (see the previous entry).
