Here is a brief description we found on-line regarding the battle depicted on this plan: (28 Sep 1708):
A conventional battle plan with interesting wagon train vignette and explanatory key in a large ornamental cartouche. Battle between Allies under Maj Gen Webb with about 6,000 troops and the French under Count de la Motte with 11-12,000. Webb withstood the French attacks, which were repulsed with great loss, and by nightfall the French were in retreat after an Allied loss of only 138 killed and 800 wounded.
