This anonymous 17th-century map depicts the Siege of 's-Hertogenbosch in 1629. It shows the defensive trenches constructed by the Dutch forces and the city itself, "La Ville de Bois-le-Duc". The intricate details of the waterways and fortresses reveal the strategic importance of the city during the Thirty Years' War. This hand-colored map, created for military and historical purposes, is an excellent example of early cartography and provides valuable insight into military tactics and siege warfare of the period.
