A scarce map of the Netherlands, with a title cartouches of a sea battle referencing the Third Anglo-Dutch War (1672-4), in which England France united to attack the Dutch Republic. The allies failed to capitalise on their superior fleets, and eventually this costly and fruitless war (in which England temporarily lost New York) was abandoned by Charles II because of Parliamentary opposition.
