Hispaniarum Rege ad CAROLUM III CONTINENSQUE Novem Historicas figuras, in magna charta expressas, praecipuarum, obsidionum tam Mari quam Terra, praecipuorum munimentorum ad Rhenum, Mosam, Mosellam, uti [et] in Hispania [et] Italia sitorum. Addita est brevis descriptio lingua Latina [et] Belgica.

The "Theatrum Bellicum" is composed by 18 double-page engraved plates, the first 17 divided into 9 small engravings of historical events, and maps, plans or views of towns, fortifications and battles with engraved explanatory captions in Dutch and Latin.
SCHENK'S ICONOGRAPHIC HISTORY OF THE WAR OF THE SPANISH SUCCESSION, augmented and updated with additional plates added after the publication of the first edition of 1706 to describe events up to November 1713, the signing of the early Treaties of Utrecht (including that of 11 April 1713 between England and France), and the death of Frederick I King of Prussia and his succession by Frederick William I.

Peter Schenk the Elder (1660-1711) moved to Amsterdam in 1675 and began to learn the art of mezzotint. In 1694 he bought some of the copperplate stock of the mapmaker Johannes Janssonius, which allowed him to specialize in the engraving and printing of maps and prints. He split his time between his Amsterdam shop and Leipzig and also sold a considerable volume of materials to London. Peter Schenk the Elder had three sons. Peter the Younger carried on his father’s business in Leipzig while the other two, Leonard and Jan, worked in Amsterdam. Leonard engraved several maps and also carried on his father’s relationship with engraving plates for the Amsterdam edition of the Histoire de l'Académie Royale des Sciences.
