Bergen Op Zoom. 1747.
1747.
Etching, very rare. Sheet size: 275 x 385mm (10¾ x 15"). Trimmed to image. Central vertical crease.
The Siege of Bergen op Zoom took place during the Austrian War of Succession, when a French army, under the command of Lowendal and the overall direction of Marshal Maurice de Saxe, laid siege and captured the strategic Dutch border fortress of Bergen op Zoom on the border of Brabant and Zealand in 1747. Bergen op Zoom was defended by allies, consisting of the Dutch, Austrians, British, Hanoverians and Hessians, that supported the Pragmatic Sanction. Although tentative peace initiatives had been put forward, neither side was willing to make meaningful concessions. The capture of Bergen op Zoom would be a signal defeat for the Dutch and would open the door for an invasion of the Dutch Netherlands. This satirical print depicts the town under seige, with four scenes in each corner showing different perspectives of the event. Lettered with captions in the image, the title above and four verses of two lines each below the image.

The explosive 'hellburners' or fireships used to destroy the pontoon bridge constructed by the army of Alexander Farnese, Duke of Parma, during the seige of Antwerp. Supported and subsidised by Elizabeth I, Italian engineer Federigo Giambelli developed perhaps the earliest example of weapons of mass destruction, two unmanned ships packed with gunpowder, schrapnel and fitted with a sophisticated timer mechanism set to detonate at the ideal moment. It is recorded that over one thousand Spanish troops were killed instantly at the moment of detonation, and the seige on Antwerp was lifted for a time.

John Selden (1584-1654) was a jurist, politician and scholar and was called to the Bar in 1612. He wrote dissertations on legal theory, angering James I with his 'History of Tythes' (1618) but redeeming himself with 'Mare clausum' which argued that James had full sovereignty over the waters around the British Isles. He became MP for Oxford University and sided with Parliament during the Civil War. Throughout his life Selden studied oriental languages, including Hebrew, Arabic and Chinese; after his death his extensive library of books was donated to the Bodleian. In 2008 the historian Robert Batchelor rediscovered an early 17th century Chinese map of the Far East among the bequest, now known as the Selden Map.
