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.

Battle of Kauwenstein Dijk, 1585: Siege of Antwerp Engraving with Latin Legend
Located in Langweer, NL
The 'Battle for the Kauwenstein Dijk', engraved and titled Pugna in Aggerere Covenstio Anno 1585, depicts a significant battle during the Siege of Antwerp on 26 May 1585. The engraving illustrates the fierce combat around the Kauwenstein embankment, where the Spanish forces under the Duke of Parma attempted to cut off supplies to the city of Antwerp, leading to intense fighting. The scene vividly portrays soldiers engaged in close combat, naval forces in the background, and smoke rising from the battlefield as cannon fire and musket shots fill the air. The embankment, partially breached, is a focal point, showing the chaotic nature of the battle as forces from both sides converge. At the top, the title is inscribed in Latin, and a detailed legend (A-O) at the bottom provides further explanations about various parts of the battle, referencing key locations, troops, and actions. The detailed precision of the engraving reflects the high level of craftsmanship typical of 16th-century military engravings...
