Map of The Battle of Minden - Plan of The Battle of Tonhausen - Germany - Europe
Plan of the battle of Tonhausen, ye 1st. of August 1759, between his Britannic Majesty's Army, commanded by Prince Ferdinand of Brunswick, and that of France by Marshal De Contades: With the different Motions of the two Armies from the 14th. of July to the 1st. of August 1759. A plan of the Battle of Tonhausen/Minden detailing, along with the explanatory legend on page 169, detailing movements and positions around the time of Britain's famous and incredible victory. As a battle plan, land cover is highly detailed while cities (including the fortified Minden) are quite generalized; relief, terrain, and waterways are all shown as they all had direct bearing on the battle and pertain directly to what the reader would wish to see of the engagement. An elaborate cartouche frames the work's title and includes cattails and bullrushes along the scroll motif.
The work is in good condition overall. There may be a few minor imperfections or fox or mottled marks to be expected with age. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions.
Dimensions: 39 cm x 24 cm; Date: 1759
