Numbered bottom right: 'Tom. II. no. 42.'Titled on the bottom left within a lion-skin cartouche: 'LA VERITABLE PLAN DE LA VILLE DE TOURNAY' with the explanation of the numbers referenced on the plate. On the bottom right, the same legenda in Dutch.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 bottom right: 'P.v.Cal Fecit'.
