The map is notable for its attempt to compile and update the world's geography based on the latest discoveries and voyages, as well as for its decorative elements, which were characteristic of maps produced during this era.

The map is drawn on a double hemisphere projection, a popular choice for world maps of the period, which allowed for the representation of the Earth's surface with less distortion around the poles. It includes detailed depictions of continents, countries, and major cities, along with annotations regarding the discoveries of various explorers. The map also features artistic embellishments, such as allegorical figures representing the continents, maritime scenes, and possibly vignettes of natural phenomena and indigenous peoples, all of which were common motifs intended to capture the imagination of viewers and convey the sense of adventure associated with exploration.
