A plan of Bruges during the War of the Spanish Succession. The city was taken from the Austrians in 1706, retaken by the French in 1707 and again by the Allies in 1708.

This map was published in 'A summary of Mr Rapin de Thoyras's History of England, and Mr Tindal's Continuation, from the Invasion of Julius Caesar, to the End of the Reign of King George I. Illustrated With Medals, Plans of Battles, Towns, and Sieges', 1751.
