Numbered lower right: 'Tom. II. no. 40.'Titled on the bottom right in Dutch within a cartouche with a legenda referencing the numbers within the plate: 'PLAN VAN DE BELEGERING EN DE ATTAQUES DER STADT EN CITADELLE VAN GENDT Belegert door de Geallieerde Legers den 22 December 1708...'; on the top right its French translation: 'Plan du Siege et des Attques de la Ville et Citadelle de GAND....'This map was previously published by Anna van Beek in 1705. 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.Attributed to Peter van Call II.
