About this work
Vignette for a map of Europe, with several children holding the imperial coat of arms. Around the coat of arms, various dignitaries such as the Pope, a Doge, a Duke, a King, and an Emperor with the imperial orb. In front of the coat of arms lies a lion with a bundle of arrows under its paw. Behind the lion, a woman holds various crowns and scepters on her lap. In the background, a woman with a city crown converses with Ceres while Mercury turns his back on them. The trio is flanked by a river god and a sea god.
