This uncommon map, based on the work of Sanson, depicts the seat of war in southeastern Belgium during the War of the Spanish Succession. The map extends from Charleroi in the west to the present-day border with Luxembourg and Germany in the east, and as far south as Mouzon, France. The map is densely engraved with towns, roads, political boundaries, rivers, and forested areas. The distance scale is surrounded by a vignette of a fierce battle with a city burning in the background.
