Europe is illustrated as a queen, an illustration that was published in Munster`s Cosmographia since 1580 and originally was created in 1537 by Johannes Bucius. The crown and the head are formed by Spain, England and Scotland are isles at the sceptre, the upper body build Gallia and Germania, the arms are Denmark and Italy with Sicilia as an orb, the lower body is built by the states Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Lithuania, Macedonia, Poland, Russia, Scythia and others.
