Tekstblad gebruikt bij de kaart van Schenckenschans belegerd door Frederik Hendrik, 1635 1635

This 1635 broadside by Claes Jansz. Visscher, a Dutch publisher and cartographer, is a printed text describing the siege of Schenckenschans, a fort captured by Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange, in 1635. The artwork, featuring the text of the siege and a small decorative element, provides historical insight into the Eighty Years’ War. This broadside, now in the Rijksmuseum, is an example of the printed media used to share information and propaganda during this time, and serves as a valuable primary source for the study of seventeenth-century military history.
