Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

For sale an original c.1743 copperplate antique city/battle map of the "Plan of the Siege of TOURNAY" 1709, first engraved by Basire Snr. The full title reads: "Tournay A Strong City and Castle in the Earldom of Flanders taken by the Confederates July 7, 1709 and left as a Barrier Town to the Dutch by the Treaty of Utrecht." Condition: Near Fine, especially for age - Top & bottom margins very small (as in pics), otherwise no issues. It highlights Tournai's pivotal role as a barrier town following the Treaty of Utrecht, which reshaped the balance of power in Europe. Engraved by James Basire Sr. (1730–1802) and published in Paul de Rapin’s monumental historical work, The History of England (translated by Nicholas Tindall) tracing the history of England with a focus on maps of significant battles fought by the English. Paul de Rapin de Thoyras (1661–1725) was a French historian writing under English patronage, renowned for his detailed accounts of European history and conflicts. Tournay is located in what was then the Spanish Netherlands (today's Belguim); Doornik in Dutch. Mapmaker – Paul de Rapin: French historian (1661–1725), celebrated for The History of England, a comprehensive work tracing the history of England with numerous maps and detailed battle plans of note included. Engraver – James Basire Sr.: Renowned English engraver (1730–1802), the first of four generations of skilled Basires, known for high-quality copperplate engravings. This was one of the most significant wars of the 1700s. The 1701-1714 Spanish War of Succession was fought between Louis XIV & the French and the Allies, lead by the Holy Roman Empire, the English & Dutch. The direct bloodline of the Habsburg throne of Spain had ended, starting a p as to whom would gain it - if either the French Bourbons or the Spanish Habsburgs gained the Spanish possessions they would create states that would be a concern for the future peace or Europe. Initially Louis XIV wanted his first born son to succeed, and the Habsburgs wanted the son of Marie-Theresa (1740-1780), the ruler of the House of Habsburg (she couldn't be Empress). So once Charles II at last died in 1700, diplomacy was attempted but within a year war broke out. In the end, after the deaths of a number of candidates & military victories, Louis XIV's grandson Philippe V gained the Throne of Spain, but in exchange had to renounce any claim of his, or his descendants, to the French Throne (and same for the French not ruling Spain. The victory by the Allies at Tournay i seen as key to bringing about The 1715 Treaty of Utrecht. Philippe V agreed to give up The Spanish Netherlands (roughly Belgium), Naples, most of Milan to Holy Roman Empire/Habsburgs, and the House of Savoy received Sardinia and parts of Milan.
