"Legenda bij het beleg en de verovering van Grave door Willem III, 1674" is a 1674 etching by Romeyn de Hooghe. This historical print, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, details the Siege of Grave in 1674, where Dutch forces led by William III captured the town. It likely functioned as an illustrative aid for historical accounts, similar to the engravings of the time. While the print itself is not a visual depiction of the siege, it incorporates textual and numerical references to guide readers through a detailed historical narrative. The use of typography and the layout of the text on the page further exemplifies the artistic style of the period.
