Pieter Schenk (I), Capture of Tournai by the Grand Alliance during the War of the Spanish Succession
Tournai (French: Tournai, from Latin Turnacum) is a city located in the Picard language area in the west of the Belgian province of Hainaut in Wallonia and Romanesque Flanders on the River Scheldt.
Petrus Schenck (Elberfeld, Wuppertal, North Rhine-Westphalia 26 December 1660 - Leipzig, Saxony, Germany 1711) was a German engraver and mapmaker. Together with his son of the same name, Pieter Schenk (II), Schenck was one of the most important figures of Saxon cartography in the first half of the 18th century.
Petrus Schenck spent his apprenticeship or joined the Amsterdam engraver and map publisher Gerard Valck. Schenck lived in the Jordaan on the Lauriergracht. Around 1700, he settled in Leipzig as a globetrotter, mapmaker and art dealer.
