Plattegrond van het beleg van Charleroi, 1693 1726

This detailed engraving, created by an anonymous artist in 1726, is a plan of the Siege of Charleroi in 1693. The map, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, uses a clear and meticulous style to illustrate the intricate details of the siege, including the fortifications, the surrounding terrain, and the strategic positions of the opposing forces. The artist’s use of line and shading to depict the landscape, as well as the inclusion of a legend to explain the various features of the siege, make this an informative and visually engaging piece of historical cartography.
