Jan van Vianen’s “Slag bij Höchstädt, 1704” (1704) is a detailed engraved map of the Battle of Blenheim, a decisive victory for the Grand Alliance against the French and Bavarian forces. The map includes a visual representation of the battle, with troops in formation and topographical features. This work, now in the Rijksmuseum, provides a valuable historical record of a significant military engagement and exemplifies the detailed cartographic practices of the early 18th century.
