Description: Swedish progress continues (1631) During the Thirty Years War, some broadsheets were closely linked to the changing daily news. Here we see Gustavus Adolphus forcing the pope, as a symbol of the Catholic cause, to disgorge cities and fortresses captured from the Protestants during the 1630s. The sequence, almost resembling a strip-cartoon, includes the places taken or relieved by the Swedes on their march from Stralsund on the Baltic to Kreuznach in the Rhineland. Space has been left for the insertion of further victories in later editions of the print! From British Library, Call no. 1750.b. 29/67*
