A fine plan of the battle of Krefeld between the Prussian-Hanoverian army and a French army. The plan shows the superior forces of the French army facing the defending army just outside the city of Krefeld. Prince Ferdinand outflanked the French forcing a retreat and keeping the French from aiding their Austrian allies. The plan provides extensive notations below the plan. Pierre de Hondt was a prominent 18th century Dutch bookseller and publisher in the Hague, known for the high standard of typography of his books, with atlases forming a limited proportion of his output. During the Seven Years War, he diversified into map publishing, issuing a number of battle plans, most of which were engraved by J. van Schley.
