A coloured key to the German and French camps (‘Lager’) is engraved top left, outside border. German troops are represented in red and French in blue. This is a detailed topographical map of the Mosel from Schweig (i.e. Schweich, Rhineland-Palatinate 49°49'19"N 06°45'09"E) in the north to Boltzen (i.e. Palzem, Rhineland-Palatinate 49°34'01"N 06°22'00"E) in the south, and the adjacent regions.
The engraver of this map, Felsing, became Hof Kupfersticher in 1796, so the engraving of this map dates from that year at the earliest. See: Thieme and Becker vol. XI (1955) p.377.
