30 Nicolas Bellus – Battle Map of the Engagement Between the Spanish and Brunswick Armies near Höchst – Woodcut Map
This early 17th-century woodcut map by Nicolas Bellus depicts the military engagement near Höchst, close to Frankfurt am Main, during the Thirty Years' War. The German title translates to "Representation of the Meeting between the Spanish and Brunswick Armies near Höchst." The map illustrates troop positions, cavalry charges, river crossings of the Main, and surrounding settlements with a schematic and stylized approach typical of the period’s battle cartography. It serves as both a historical document and a propagandistic image commemorating the conflict between the Catholic and Protestant forces.
Nicolas Bellus was an early modern engraver and printmaker active in the early 1600s, known for producing military and historical prints. His work captures the chaos and strategic movements of early modern warfare, often commissioned to document significant battles of the Thirty Years’ War.
