The map is adorned with essential features, such as prominent cities, towns, rivers, mountains, and other topographical details.

What sets this map apart is its striking and vivid color palette, coupled with distinct typography and unique decorative elements. Uncommon for its era, the oceans are also richly colored, adding to its visual appeal. Noteworthy embellishments include a peacock feather crown and an imprint medallion, both extending beyond the conventional printed borders.

His work often featured detailed topographical information, political boundaries, and other essential geographical elements. His maps were used for educational purposes, navigation, reference, and decorative display.
