This 17th-century engraving by an anonymous artist depicts a detailed map of the Dutch siege of 's-Hertogenbosch (Bois-le-Duc), a strategic city in the Netherlands. The intricate layout, featuring fortified trenches and defensive structures, underscores the complexity of military operations during the Thirty Years' War. This historical cartographic masterpiece, measuring 291 mm in height and 374 mm in width, is a valuable artifact for understanding military strategy and the intricacies of 17th-century warfare. The map also includes a decorative cartouche with text, which provides information about the siege and the role of Ernst Casimir, a prominent military leader of the time.
