Tekstblad bij een (ontbrekende) de prent van het beleg van Bergen op Zoom door Spinola, 1622 1622

This 1622 broadside, "Tekstblad bij een (ontbrekende) de prent van het beleg van Bergen op Zoom door Spinola," was created by Nicolaes van Geelkercken. The print, now missing, depicted the siege of Bergen op Zoom by the Spanish general Ambrogio Spinola in 1622, and this broadside acts as a textual supplement. Van Geelkercken, a Dutch engraver and publisher, is known for his detailed and informative works, often focusing on historical events. This piece was likely intended to be viewed alongside the missing print, offering a detailed historical account of the siege, important to understand the context and significance of the visual representation.
