[MILANO] - Plan de la cittadelle de Milan avec ses attaques. [Milan: c.a 1733].

Important depiction of the trenches and assaults to the Castello Sforzesco with the detailed account of the siege operations by the French-Piedmontese army which culminated in the capture of the citadel on January 2, 1734. The event is part of the war of the Polish succession that saw opposed on the Italian front the armies of Carlo Emanuele III of Savoy and Annibale Visconti, field marshal of the Habsburg Empire. The siege of the Castle lasted a little less than two months thanks to the excellent operations, here fully depicted, and it ended with the surrender of the Austrian garrison which withdrew towards the fortress of Mantua.

(955 x 1000mm). Manuscript and watercoloured topographical map with caption and explanation in French signed "La Brottiere", within a modern frame and glass (occasionally worn).
