22 Peter Schenk the Elder (1660–1711) – Map of Namur / Namen, in het landschap van die naam, op het zamen vloeyen van Maas en Sambre – Engraving (1702)

This historical map titled Namen, in het landschap van die naam, op het zamen vloeyen van Maas en Sambre presents a detailed topographical view of the city of Namur, Belgium, located at the confluence of the Meuse and Sambre rivers. The Latin version of the title reads Namurcum, ad Mosæ ac Sabis confluentes: cessit Gallis, 1692; Wilhelmo regi, 1693; hodie tamen rursus Gallis, highlighting the city’s contested status during the late 17th century military campaigns. The engraving was produced around 1702 and is part of the larger atlas collections published in Amsterdam, notably appearing in volumes such as Frederik den Femtes Atlas. The map captures the strategic importance of Namur during the War of the Spanish Succession and illustrates the fortified city with detailed buildings, walls, and surrounding terrain. The work was published by Peter Schenk in Amsterdam, a key center of map publishing during the Dutch Golden Age.
Peter Schenk the Elder was a prominent German-Dutch engraver and publisher based in Amsterdam. He was known for his detailed city views and maps, often working alongside Gerard Valck. His publications helped document the political and military geography of late 17th and early 18th-century Europe. The map was printed in Amsterdam shortly after the 1695 bombardment.
