Contemporary hand coloured lithographed(?) plate with the plan for the Bombardment of Algiers in August 1816. The attack was instigated and won by Great Britain and the Netherlands, which was celebrated in London.The Bombardment of Algiers was part of a European campaign to end piracy against Europeans by North African countries. The goal of this attack was to free Christian slaves in Algeria and stop Omar Agha (?-1817), the of Dey of Algiers, from enslaving more Europeans. The attack was partly successful. Algeria freed around 3000 Christian slaves after the battle, but did not stop enslaving Europeans until later in the 19th century.The plan for the attack was made by Admiral Lord Exmouth, the commander of the fleet. The largest ships approached the harbour in a column, sailed to the zone were the Algerian guns could not reach them, and bombarded the defences. Other ships blocked the harbour, to attack the Algerian ships and prevent them from joining the battle. On the present illustration, each of the British ships is named and drawn in its planned position, thus giving an interesting visual insight into 19th-century naval tactics.The sheet is folded in half, with a tear along the top and bottom of the fold, somewhat browned and stained, with remnants of tape on the back. The plan and view remain clear and the colouring remains bright. With an illustration of the plan of attack and a view of the fortifications on the Mole at Algiers.

This is the 1734 Hendrik de Leth battle plan or map of the siege of Philippsburg in modern-day Baden-Württemberg, Germany. A fortified city along the Rhine, Philippsburg was contested between the French and Germans since 1644. A Closer Look Detailing Philippsburg's fortifications on both sides of the Rhine, letters identify French and German positions around with a key situated in the upper left. French cavalry and French Swiss regiments are marked by text, as are French entrenchments to rebuff the Imperial attack and relieve the siege. The French bridges across the Rhine are labeled as well ( Deux Pont de Vaisseaux François ). The Siege of Philippsburg The Siege of Philippsburg (June 2 - July 18, 1734) occurred during the War of the Polish Succession (1733 - 1735) and was the second siege of the city in the previous fifty years. The siege lasts for over a month, with the French fighting off a relief effort led by Prince Eugene of Savoy. The French breached the first line of defense on July 17, reaching the citadel's ramparts, and the city surrendered the following day. The War of the Polish Succession The War of the Polish Succession (October 10, 1733 - October 3, 1735) was a major European war ignited by the Polish Civil War over the succession of King Augustus II of Poland. France, Spain, and the Kingdom of Prussia fought to test the power of the Austrian Habsburgs, while Russia and Saxony fought to support the eventual successor. After two years of war, with most of the associated military campaigns fought outside of Poland, Augustus III ascended to the throne, with the support of the Habsburgs, Russia, and Saxony. Although fighting ended in 1735, the Treaty of Vienna that formally ended the war was not signed until 1738. Augustus III was formally recognized as king, and his rival, Stanis?aw Leszczy?ski, was awarded two fiefs within the Holy Roman Empire: the Duchy of Bar and the Duchy of Lorraine. The war resulted in several duchies and fiefdoms changing hands and, more importantly, it was disastrous for Polish independence. There would only be one more Polish king, Stanis?aw August Poniatowski (who was a Russian puppet) before Poland was divided amongst its neighbors in the First Partition of Poland.
