This anonymous 1735 map depicts the area around Aire-sur-la-Lys and Saint-Venant, France, during the War of the Spanish Succession. The map is characterized by its detailed representation of the landscape, including rivers, forests, and towns. The map is adorned with figures of putti and a reclining female figure, likely representing the goddess of war. This allegorical approach emphasizes the significance of the region during the war. The map's intricate design and historical context make it a valuable resource for understanding the military landscape of 18th-century France.
