174514742Augsburg: Published by Martin Engelbrecht 1745. Engraving with thick early colour with gold highlights. Printed on laid paper. In excellent condition with the exception of some minor foxing in the margins. Image size: 9 3/4 x 7 inches. A majestic portrait with stunning early colour of Queen Elisabetha Christina by the celebrated Augsburg engraver Martin Engelbrecht.<br/> <br/> Martin Engelbrecht was one of the most prolific engravers and printsellers in Augsburg at the close of the 17th century. Along with his brother Christian Martin dominated the print trade producing some of the finest prints of his day. His outstanding portraits and landscape studies are beyond compare and his religious and allegorical engravings display a technical aptitude superior to many of his contemporaries. Martin had great success with his optical prints which were used in perspective boxes. He is best remembered for his equestrian portraits depicting European nobility and his engravings of Queen Elizabeth and Joseph II are numbered amongst his best work. This stunning portrait of Queen Elizabeth is a rare example with vibrant early colour and is a wonderful example of Engelbrecht's superior work. Elisabeth Christine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel-Bevern the Queen of Prussia faced the challenging role of being a royal wife to Frederick the Great. Their marriage was a politically motivated one arranged to secure Frederick's release from his father's oppressive regime. From the very beginning it was clear that Frederick resented this union. He did not show any affection or interest in Elisabeth and she had to endure a difficult and somewhat lonely position at the Berlin Court. In spite of her husband's neglect Elisabeth took on a very public role in Prussia. She handled representational duties presided over court functions and hosted events even when Frederick did not attend. She was known for her charity work especially during the Seven Years' War where she became a symbol of Prussian resilience in the face of crisis. Her influence extended to matters of state and she actively participated in political literature. Elisabeth also successfully introduced silk cultivation to Prussia. As queen dowager after Frederick's death she continued to have an active role in public life and provided valuable insight and advice to the royal family. Despite the challenging circumstances of her marriage Elisabeth Christine left a lasting legacy as a strong compassionate and influential figure in European history.

Première édition collective illustrée de 2 très grands plans dépliants des villes de Grave et Mayence. En juillet 1674, les Hollandais mirent le siège pendant 93 jours devant Grave dans le Brabant-Septentrional, ville occupée par les français depuis 1672. Les pertes furent considérables des deux côtés. Fin octobre, le gouverneur de la place, le marquis de Chamilly, reçut l’ordre du roi de se rendre. Ce qui restait de la garnison défila devant l’armée hollandaise qui lui rendit les honneurs et le Prince Guillaume III d'Orange récupéra la ville le 28 octobre 1674. Le siège de Mayence se déroula du 1er juin au 8 septembre 1689, pendant la guerre de la Ligue d’Augsbourg. "Récit méthodique, composé par un témoin oculaire. Exposé par ordre chronologique.
