A beautiful bird's-eye view plan of Deventer with a network of canals and walls around the medieval city. The city is seen from the south, on the eastern bank of the IJssel river. The great Grote Kerk, or St. Lebuinus Church, dominates the view in the middle. Numerous windmills are shown in the upper left, just outside the city walls. Two coats of arms, a strapwork pattern, and a few views of the city decorate the map.
