A fine detailed engraving of the bombardment of Prague. After a complete victory over Marshall Brown near the Capital on the 6th May 1757 by the Prussian army, the routed Austrians, 40,000 in number, took to the walls of the city for protection. The account below the engraving goes on to record ...that on the 29th May at midnight, after a most dreadful storm of thunder and rain, the Prussian army by the signal of a sky rocket, thrown up for that purpose by the King's Battery, began to fire upon the town from one battery on this side of the Moldau, and from three on the other. These batteries continued firing incessantly till the 8th June, when the whole New Town was reduced to one great heap of smoking rubbish and only a few houses were left standing in the Jew's quarter.

This is the second state of this map of Hungary, the stippling has changed in the shading on the strapwork and the right-hand corner is missing from the plate. From the rare English text edition of the 'Theatrum Orbis Terrarum'. Marcel van den Broecke records that Skelton's estimate of a 1000 copies of this edition is probably much too high. A number of 250 seems more likely. Compare this number with up to 7000 examples of some of the other Ortelius maps produced. Unlike others editions of the atlas this one was produced by first printing the plates in Antwerp and then adding the text in London. The text was printed by John Norton and John Bill. RARE.
