The image is an engraving featuring a scene divided into two sections. In the upper section, figures dressed in period clothing surround a large decorative scroll inscribed with Latin text. The lower section shows a landscape labeled "Praga," depicting a historical view of Prague with a detailed cityscape, trees, and a structure in the foreground, extending into the distance. The engraving predominantly uses a monochromatic color palette of black and white.
