The map provides a valuable glimpse into the urban landscape of Antwerp during this period, offering historical insight into its development. "Plan de la Ville et Citadelle d'Anvers" is printed at the top, a French translation of the title. The viewer can also see a compass rose, a legend of the map, and a depiction of the "Marquisat de St. Empire d'Anvers" in the top right corner.
