As I said, define North and South for a Galaxy.

The near side of the bar is at positive Galactic longitude
(Lopez-Corredoira et al. 2001, A&A, 373, 139). Based on that, the
picture is intended to show the view as seen from the Galactic north
pole. It would take some more work to see whether the picture is
correct or not; the arm positions and labels don't look quite right
to me, but as I say, I haven't checked in detail. In any case, the
picture is somewhat idealized though probably correct in overall
concept.
