Conquest of Gibraltar - Pieter Sluyter - 1705
Verovering van de sterke stad Gibraltar door de gecombineerde Engelsche en Hollandsche oorlogsvloot
Conquest of Gibraltar, 1704. Conquest of the strong city of Gibraltar by the combined English and Dutch war fleet
A large number of English and Dutch ships fight at sea near Gibraltar on August 3, 1704 against the Spanish. In the background the rock with the city and the castle. The explanatory title of the print is in a banner. Foiled in the upper right corner as "Fol. 253"
Engraver Pieter Sluyter 1675-1713 - active in Utrecht and Amsterdam.
Joseph Mulder, Pieter Sluyter, and D. Stopendael worked as engravers from the original drawings by Merian, who oversaw all aspects of the publication of her works during her lifetime. NB: The Metamorphosis is Merian's most famous work, resulting from her journey with her daughter Dorothea to Surinam in 1699. The two women spent two years studying and recording insects and plants, returning to Amsterdam with a series of finished drawings on vellum, sketches and specimens, from which they continued to work. The work first appeared simultaneously in Latin and Dutch in 1705 with 60 plates. Later editions all included 12 additional plates after Merian's elder daughter Johanna.
Loveley engraving in incredible condition for its age. Pricing and grading commensurate.
