Composite volume containing the binding of the last ten parts of the print work: Les Forces de l'Europe, Asie, Afrique et Amerique ... Comme aussi les Cartes des Côtes de France et d'Espagne. Enlarged reissue of the album by Pieter Mortier from ca. 1702, now compiled and published by Pieter van der Aa in two parts in 1726. In a leather bookbinding with the title on the spine. The 271 plates in this second part are hand-numbered 239-509. Most of these plates are copied from anonymous French plates of famous strong cities and fortresses: in Les forces de l'Europe and in: Le theatre de la guerre, dans les Pays-Bas, both originally published by Nicolas de Fer in Paris (1693-1697) in the context of the Nine Years' War. Many new plates have been added, some depicting events from the War of the Spanish Succession. Titles and inscriptions in French.
