On verso of this map is printed the textleaf ''33'' which starts as follows ; '' Helvetiae Nova Descriptio. Rhetiam & Helvetia tibi offert.''. On the map side the clover is pointing to the right. Map in good condition allthough some worm-galleries have been expertly repaired in the lower end of the fold, mainly outside the map image resulting for the image in a loss of approx. 1 cm in the mountains east of Chur (the map is orientated with West up).
