Engraved chart listing several facts of different European countries, compiled by Caspar Specht (ca. 1654-1710).

Similar notes are given for each country, including Spain, Denmark, England, Switzerland, Sweden, France, Russia, Prussia and even the Ottoman Empire. Also included are several coats of arms of major European orders of knighthood and of some leading royal and noble families.
