"Ichnographia Oppidi Itzehoae in Stormaria ad Fluuium Storam...", Pufendorf, Samuel, Baron von

This exquisitely engraved battle plan is from Pufendorf's chronicle on the Northern Wars and military campaigns of Sweden's King Charles X. The plan depicts a battle in the Schleswig-Holsetin region along the Stoer River. Very decorative with an army scene and weaponry in the foreground, title cartouche, and a picture-frame style border. Drawn by Count Erik Jonsson Dahlberg, an architect and draftsman who served as an engineering adviser to Charles X and gradually rose through the ranks in the military to become director-general of fortifications for the Swedish crown.
