[Vienna, c.1672.]
Rare engraved map. Sheet 340 x 430mm (13¼ x 17"). Tear into image bottom centre; Edges chipped, binding folds.
The Battle of Lund (4th December 1676), fought between the Danish army of King Christian V and the Swedish under Charles XI as part of the Scanian War (1675-9). Although a decisive Swedish victory the battle crippled both sides. The casualty rate was high: the Danish dead numbered 6,000 out of 13,000, the Swedish nearly 3,000 of 8,000, one of the highest percentages of any European battle in history.
