Notes: "This book is devoted to the work of Matthäus Merian Senior and his copper engravings depicting the battlefields of the Thirty Years' War in the Czech Lands [...] with a detailed focus on the Swedish campaign in Bohemia in 1647. The engravings have been studied, described, and analysed with the use of interdisciplinary approaches and methods as a reflection of the Czech or Central European landscape. Upon deeper contemporary exploration, this landscape may be dubbed a 'military landscape' in terms of the sites of former battles. The publication [...] is a wholly unique highly revealing work that is methodologically founded on interdisciplinary grounds and was successfully and innovatively linked, combined, and applied to a collection of historical sources not hitherto studied using such methods."-- back-cover blurb
