Jacobus Harrewijn's 1684 "Vestingen en versterkte plaatsen door de Fransen veroverd in 1672" (Fortifications and Fortified Places Conquered by the French in 1672) is an intricate etching depicting a series of 16 fortresses captured by the French in the Dutch Republic during the Franco-Dutch War. Each fort is meticulously detailed with its name and surrounding landscape. This piece, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable historical document offering insights into the strategic importance of fortifications in 17th-century warfare. The etching's grid-like structure adds to its visual appeal and historical significance.
