engraving

Notes
See George, no.130, for an earlier print depicting the Dutch struggle for the fortress of Schenk in 1635. The earlier image shows an 'unlucky' game of raffles, reflecting the fact that the Prince of Orange's campaign was then going badly. This later print is a follow-up, probably by the same artist, reflecting the eventual success of the Prince of Orange in 1636.
Watermark: unknown.
Provenance

Formerly owned by Sir Robert Peel.

Associated names
