De inname van Emmerich door de Fransen op 10 juni 1672 1675 - 1699

This anonymous etching, "De inname van Emmerich door de Fransen op 10 juni 1672," depicts the capture of the Dutch city of Emmerich by the French on June 10, 1672, during the Franco-Dutch War. The print was likely created between 1675 and 1699 and is now in the collection of the Rijksmuseum. It features a detailed cityscape of Emmerich and a bird's-eye view of the French troops entering the city. The print also includes a map of the city and its fortifications, providing historical context for the event. This work offers a valuable glimpse into Dutch military history and the artistry of anonymous printmakers in the 17th century.
