Pieter Schenk (I), Relief of Hulst, 1715 - 1717
The battle for Hulst in 1702 under the best Dutch and French army commanders of their time proved that it was a substantial fortress, well defended by expertly led and courageous troops.
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.
