Specialist Notes
A comprehensive account of the campaigns of the three most famous military commanders of the War of the Spanish Succession: Prince Eugene of Savoy (1663-1736), John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough (1650-1722), and John William Friso, Prince of Orange-Nassau (1687-1711), illustrated with magnificent battle scenes, maps and plans by Jan Huchtenburgh,
This monumental work, illustrated with magnificent battle scenes by Jan Huchtenburgh, as well as maps, plans, and views by Hubert Jaillot, Covens & Mortier, and Guillaume de L'Isle, describes the military exploits and campaigns in Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands during the War of the Spanish Succession (1701–1714) and in the Banat of Temeswar (Romania) and Serbia during the Austro-Turkish War of 1716–18. Prince Eugene of Savoy, a general in the imperial army, was not only one of the most successful military commanders in modern European history but also governor-general of the Southern Netherlands in his later years, from 1721 onwards. Rejected by Louis XIV for service in the French army, Eugene transferred his allegiance to the Habsburg Monarchy, where his almost unwavering successes on the battlefield earned him European renown. This example includes his portrait on a double-page plate, a large panoramic view showing Prussian troops bombarding the town of Guelders in 1703, 23 folding plates, most of which are maps of Flanders, Brabant, Lombardy, Piedmont, Turin, Bavaria, etc., but also a bird's eye view of Carmagnola.
Brunet II:881; Cohen-Ricci 337. There is no standard collation of this work .
