A hand-colored engraved map of Europe and adjacent parts of North Africa and Western Asia. In the upper left, a decorative architectural cartouche contains the title "EVROPAE". Above the cartouche is an illustration of the mythological rape of Europa, showing a woman riding a bull across the water. A sea monster is depicted in the ocean below the cartouche. In the upper right corner is an ornate compass rose. In the lower right, the text "Cum privilegio" is visible. A scale bar titled "Milliaria" with various units is located at the bottom center-left. The map features topographical details including mountain ranges, forests, and major cities (represented by small clusters of buildings). In the region of Tartaria, several nomadic tents or pavilions are illustrated. A three-masted ship is shown sailing in the Atlantic Ocean. The borders of various regions are outlined in different colors (pink, yellow, green).
