After Namur became part of the Spanish Netherlands in the 1640s, its citadel was considerably strengthened. King Louis XIV of France invaded in 1692, capturing the town and annexing it to France. His renowned military engineer Vauban rebuilt the citadel. This map displays those works and was 'sent in a post letter from Amsterdam'. It was advertised for sale in the London Gazette for 6-9 June 1692. French control was short-lived, as William III of Orange-Nassau captured Namur only three years later in 1695 during the War of the Grand Alliance. Tyacke no. 222.
