Titelpagina met vignet uit: Rousset, Oorlogskundige Beschryving van de Veldslagen en Belegeringen, Tweede Deel (1729) 1729

This title page, engraved by Leonard Schenk in 1729, is a visual representation of the second volume of the "Oorlogskundige Beschryving van de Veldslagen en Belegeringen" by Monsieur Rousset. The etching depicts a scene with military figures within a decorative oval frame, surrounded by allegorical figures representing strength and peace. The intricate detail and use of linework are characteristic of Schenk's style. The title page was designed to highlight the importance of the book's contents, which documented military battles and sieges, and to honor the prominent military figures featured in the text. The book itself, published in 's Gravenhage by Isaac van der Kloot, would have been of interest to both military enthusiasts and those fascinated by the historical events it described.
