This detailed topographical map showing roads, settlements, drainage, marshes and the extended lines of encampments of the Allied army to the north of Breda, gives similar information to RCINs 730042-6. It shows the additional detail of the ten battalions and ten squadrons of additional Hanoverian troops who arrived on 15 June, and a further six battalions of Hessian troops who arrived on 4 July.
The attribution to Treu is made on stylistic grounds.
