Summary
Kaart met de verovering van Wesel aan de Rijn bij verrassing door het Staatse leger onder kolonel Otto van Gent, in de nacht van 19 augustus 1629. Rechtsboven de cartouche met de legenda a-l in het Duits en de hand van God die de ketting doorknipt waarmee de Spanjaard Wesel had geketend.
A cartouche or cartouch is an oval design with a slightly convex surface, typically edged with ornamental scrollwork. It is used to hold a painted or low relief design. In Early Modern design, since the early 16th century, the cartouche is a scrolling frame device, derived originally from Italian cartoccia. Such cartouches are characteristically stretched, pierced and scrolling (illustration, left). Another cartouche figures prominently in the title page of Giorgio Vasari's Lives, framing a minor vignette with a device of pierced and scrolling papery cartoccia.
