Title in the top left corner, in an extremely rich cartouche surmounted by the arms of the Wittelsbach kings of Sweden, which are flanked by two smaller shields bearing the three Swedish crowns and the blazon of the House of Bjelbo. Below, at the base of the cartouche, are the arms of the House of Vasa, while surrounding the ensemble is a chain formed of the arms of the Swedish provinces. Scale bars on a tablet in the bottom right corner, flanked by two hunters, who watch over deer and rams sleeping on top of the tablet. Framed at the bottom and sides by a u-shaped description of the Artic Circle and Kingdom of Sweden, which carries the imprint of Henricus Hondius. As Blaeu acknowledges, this map is closely based on Anders Bure's 1626 map of Sweden, which was a significant improvement on all earlier surveys of Scandinavia.
