Description: This decorative print originates from: 'Histoire Militaire de Flandre depuis l'Annee 1690. jusqu'en 1694 …' (transl.: Military history of Flanders from 1690-1694.), by le Chevalier de Beaurain, 2nd. ed. 1776 (first ed. 1756). This is an important historical source concerning the 'Nine Years' War' (1688-97). This war is often called the War of the Grand Alliance, the War of the Palatine Succession, or the War of the League of Augsburg – was a major war of the late 17th century fought between King Louis XIV of France, and a European-wide coalition, the Grand Alliance, led by the Anglo-Dutch Stadtholder-King William III, Holy Roman Emperor Leopold I, King Charles II of Spain, Victor Amadeus II of Savoy, and the major and minor princes of the Holy Roman Empire.
