Description
English: A high oblique view of the naval Battle of Orbetello which was fought on 14 June 1646 between a French fleet, commanded by Admiral Jean Armand de Maillé-Brézé, Marquis de Brézé (18 October 1619-14 June 1646), and Spanish ships, sent to try to break the siege of Orbetello (see 723063-723069) and relieve the town, commanded by Miguel de Noronha, 4th Count of Linhares (1585-1647). Franco-Spanish War (1635-1659). Oriented with north to top (compass directions written to the centre of each edge).

The print covers the coastline of Italy from Livorno (43°32ʹ39ʺN 10°19ʹ34ʺE) in the north to Cornetto (?Tarquinia (42°15ʹ15ʺN 11°45ʹ24ʺE) in the south. There is no key to the letters ‘a’ and ‘b’ which appear beside the ships but it would appear that ‘a’ refers to French ships and ‘b’ to the Spanish ships.

A different state, which is preserved in the National Library of Malta (Monaco, p.241, Plate I) is distinguished by the word ‘MARE’, which is engraved in the sea area west of Piombino, and ‘TYRRENO’, which is engraved either side of a ship inside the bottom neatline. The Malta example also has additional details such as several more place-names, for example, ‘Aqua pendente’ and ‘Bolsena’, together with the settllement symbols to the north-west and north, respectively, of ‘Lago di Bolsena’, top right.
