The map depicts the eastern part of Friesland known as Oostergo, focusing on its rural districts (grietenijen) and highlighting the important cities of Leeuwarden, the provincial capital, and Dokkum, the historic Frisian town famous for the martyrdom of Saint Boniface in 754. This finely detailed map originates from Franz Joseph Johann von Reilly’s monumental Schauplatz der fünf Theile der Welt (“Showplace of the Five Parts of the World”), an ambitious late 18th-century Austrian atlas project.
