This map is a close copy of Fricx's map of the battle at RCIN 726002 and was published during the War of the Austrian Succession, the year after the then Allied army had been defeated by the French at the siege of Oudenaarde in 1745. The Allied army had also encamped all over this area during 1744 and a map by George Augustus Schultz of these encampments, using as a base part of Fricx's earlier map of the Battle of Oudenaarde, is at RCIN 729006.
