"Plan of passage of the Lignes de Brabant. Forcées le 18 July 1705 by the Armies des Alliez commandées by My Lord Duc de Marlborough & by Monsieur d'Auverkerke […]"

original copper engraving of two plates approx. 37x46cm (representation/image size) after Ivoy on handmade paper (51x57cm) typographically titled and inscribed in the plate; from: Jean Dumont and Jean Rousset de Missy "Histoire militaire du Prince Eugène de Savoye, du Prince et Duc de Marlborough, et du Prince de Nassau-Frise, où l'on trouve un détail des principales actions de la dernière guerre, & des batailles & sièges commandez par ces trois généraux" Isaac van der Kloot, The Hague 1729

This interesting sheet is from the first imperial folio edition of one of the finest and most lavishly illustrated works on military history. The glorious campaigns of the famous Turkish warrior Prince Eugene of Savoy (1663 in Paris – 1736 in Vienna) and the 1. Duke of Marlborough John Churchill (1650 in Ashe - 1722 in Devonshire) and Johann Wilhelm Friso (1687 in Dessau - 1711 near Moerdijk) in the Turkish campaigns and in the War of the Spanish Succession. The Dutch battle painter Jan van Huchtenburgh (1647 in Haarlem – 1733 in Amsterdam) accompanied the Austrian Field Marshal Prince Eugene of Savoy on his campaigns from 1708 to 1717 and painted his battles in large cycles. Most of his works are now in the Galleria Sabauda in Turin.

The extremely rare print with a smoothed vertical centrefold. Paper smoothed centre-folded.

La bataille d'Eliksem, 18 July 1705, également connue sous le nom de la Traversée des lignes du Brabant est livery pendant la Guerre de Succession d'Espagne. Le duc de Marlborough perce avec succès les lignes françaises de Brabant, un ensemble de systèmes defensifs en forme d'arc s'étirant sur environ 115 km d'Anvers à Namur1. Bien qu'il ne put aboutir à une bataille décisive, la percée puis la destruction de ces lignes allait s'avérer determinante pour les Alliés lors de la bataille de Ramillies une année plus tard.
