Buda conquered by the Austrians

1686
Not on view
The Hungarian city of Buda was occupied by the Turks for almost 150 years before it was liberated by the combined forces of the Austrians and Hungarians in 1686. The print is on two joined sheets. The word BUDA (as in Budapest) is constructed from contorted figures and different forms. It is framed by an etched border and in the upper section is the symbol of the Imperial Eagle.
