Histoire de la vie & actes memorables de Frederic Henry de Nassau prince d'Orange
A 1656 French-language history of Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange, compiled by Isaac Commelin and Johannes van Meurs and published in Amsterdam by the heirs of Judocus Janssonius for a readership interested in Dutch military campaigns. The pictures are black-and-white copper-engraved plates of siege maps, fortified town views and troop movements, with dense hatching and small figures that a designer could use as references for topographic or early-modern military drawing.
