Map of the line at Stollhofen near Fort Louis on the Rhine, attacked by the French on April 23, 1703. On the bottom left a cartouche with the German eagle and the Dutch Lion near the legend A-M referencing the points marked in the map. Numbered lower right: ‘Tom. II. no. 31’.

Titled above: ‘THE LINI, BY STOLHOF, IN DER ELSAS TUSSGHEN STRAATSBURG, ET HET FORT LUIS, Door de Franse aangetast op den 23 April 1703 / LIS LIGNES DE STOLHOFFEN EN ALSACE, ENTRE STRATSBURG & FORT LUIS, Attaquees par les Francois le 23 Avril 1703.’

This map was previously published by Anna van Beek. It served to illustrate how the war of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714) was proceeding.

For further information see Carlyn Osborn’s contribution: ‘Anna Beek and the War of the Spanish Succession.’ (2016).

This impression, however, comes from a later edition from [Jean] du Mont’s: ‘Oorlogskundige beschryving van de veldslagen en belegeringen, der drie … en den Prins van Oranje en Nassau-Vriesland,’ from 1729.
