Catalogue Note
This is volume one (covering the Low Countries) of a long series describing the various theatres of war in Europe and in the European possession in Asia, Africa and America throughout the latter half of the seventeenth century. Many of the plates were also used in several of Coronelli's other geographical publications, such as the Atlante veneto and the Corso geografico series.
