Plattegrond van Oudenaarde, 1706 1706

This detailed plan of Oudenaarde, a fortified city in Belgium, was created by Samuel Du Ry de Champdoré in 1706. It depicts the city's layout, including its imposing fortifications and surrounding landscape. The plan, meticulously drawn in ink and wash, provides a valuable historical record of the city's defensive architecture and urban fabric, showcasing the intricacies of its defensive system, including bastions and moats. This work exemplifies the use of cartographic techniques in illustrating the urban landscape and is a testament to the skills of Dutch and Flemish mapmakers of the 17th and 18th centuries.
