Map of the army camp of the Allies at the siege of Douai by the Allies under the Prince of Orange, on June 29, 1710. Top right the positions of the French army that was relieved. Numbered lower right: ‘Tom. II. no. 48.’

Titled on the top left: ‘CAMPEMENT DE L’ARMÉE. DES ALLIEZ pour couvrir le Siege de DOUAY; contre l’Armée Françoise qui vint pour faire lever le dit siege en Juin 1710.’

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.

Signed by Peter van Call II on the top left: ‘P.v.Call II’.
