About the Item

Antique print titled 'Gibraltar verovert door de Pr. van Hessen Darmstadt (..)'. Copper engraving of the capture of the fortified town of Gibraltar in 1704 during the War of the Spanish Succession by an Anglo–Dutch naval force led by Sir George Rooke and Prince George of Hesse-Darmstadt. Originates from 'Schouwburg van den oorlog' by P. Schenk. This print was originally part of a larger sheet with nine prints. Artists and Engravers: Pieter Schenk / Petrus Schenck ( 1660-1718/19) was born in Germany, but settled in Amsterdam where he first became a pupil of Gerard Valck, the engraver. In 1687 he married Valck's sister and thereafter the Schenk and Valck families were active over a long period with a wide range of interests as print sellers, publishers of books, maps, topographical and architectural drawings and globes. Although they produced some original maps, most of their atlases consisted of printings from revised and re-worked plates originally by Jansson, the Visschers, the Sansons and others. Peter Schenk the Younger (1693-1775) was a Dutch engraver and map publisher active in Amsterdam and Leipzig. Condition: Very good, image trimmed. General age-related toning, blank verso.
