The map is undoubtedly from a Viennese edition of the atlas, which is signed by van der Bruggen as author and publisher, which can also be seen by signing down on the left and by the year in the cartouche. According to the enlarged map of Dalmatia, Bosnia is diminished and while in the north it extends well to the Sava River, and to the east to the Drina River, in the south it stretches just south of Sarajevo and highlights an incorrect location of towns, so Konjic is southeast of Sarajevo, and Banja Luka, inexplicably, is along the southern border. The map is decorated by a coat of arms, a cartouche with the year, and a very beautiful vignette with a motif that idealizes shepherd's life.
