The Dutch Defeat a Spanish Force: 18th-Century Engraving Published in Ireland

About the Item

This engraving depicts a historical battle scene between Dutch forces and a party of Spaniards, as noted by the inscription at the bottom of the image. The scene shows armed soldiers on horseback and on foot, engaging in combat, with fallen figures scattered across the foreground. In the background, buildings, including a church with a steeple, are visible, hinting at the setting being a town or a significant location. The publication details at the bottom read "Dublin. Published by J. Christie, 17 Ross Lane," which suggests it was published in Dublin by John Christie, a known 18th-century publisher. The inclusion of the magazine issue number "Magazine 5.e" indicates that this image was likely part of a serialized publication or historical magazine. This scene could relate to the conflicts between the Dutch and the Spanish during the Eighty Years' War or the War of Spanish Succession, as both nations were involved in numerous battles during those periods. John Christie, the Dublin publisher, was active in the late 18th century, particularly around the 1780s to early 1800s. Based on his known period of activity and the style of the engraving, this piece was likely published between 1780 and 1800. However, to pinpoint the exact year, more specific information about the magazine issue or archival references would be necessary.
