This is a copper engraved plate depicting a bird's-eye plan of the fortress of Kenoque situated at the junction of the Loo and Diksmuide canals besieged by the British in 1695. The engraving shows details of the improvements to the fortress proposed by Vauban. The fortress was demolished in 1781. The publication this is from is Atlas portatif, ou, le nouveau theatre de la guerre en Europe: contenant les cartes géographiques, avec les plans des villes & forteresses les plus exposées aux révolutions présentes: accompagnè d'une nouvelle méthode pour apprendre facilement la géographie & la chronologie des potentats. Translated this is roughly: Portable Atlas, or thé new theater of war in Europe: containing maps, city maps with forts & most exposer to these revolutions: accompanied by a new method to easily learn geography & timelines. It was published in Amsterdam, Netherlands by Daniel de la Feuille in 1702. Daniel was born of Huguenot stock in Sedan (L'Ardennes) France. As a young man, he apprenticed as a watchmaker. In 1663 La Feuille married Charlette Marlet, the daughter of a local carpenter. Twenty years later, in 1683, facing religious persecution of the Huguenots in France, the family fled to Amsterdam. By 1686, Daniel had become a burgher (citizen) of the city and established himself as an engraver, publisher, and art dealer. Not long after, in 1691, he was admitted into the Booksellers Guild. His cartographic work includes numerous individual maps and atlases, many of which continued to be published and republished well after his death in 1709. He was succeeded by his sons Jacob and Paul.

This report assesses whether increased losses of liability insurers may be due in part to expanded tort-law interpretations in the field of environmental pollution. It concludes that there has indeed been such an expansion in recent decades, but numerous other factors may also be contributing to the claimed liability insurance crisis.
