"Plan de la Ville d'Erford, Capitale de la Thuringe: avec ses deux Citadelles St. Petersberg & Cyriacusberg", Hondt, Pierre de

Bird's-eye plan of the two citadels St. Petersberg and Cyriacusberg protecting the city of Erfurt, the capital of Thuringia and a Reichsarmie stronghold during the Seven Years War. The extensive key below identifies all the structures. Pierre de Hondt was a prominent 18th century Dutch bookseller and publisher in the Hague, known for the high standard of typography of his books, with atlases forming a limited proportion of his output. During the Seven Years War, he diversified into map publishing, issuing a number of battle plans, most of which were engraved by J. van Schley.
