Created in the 17th century, this etching is part of Hollar's extensive oeuvre, which includes over 3,000 etchings. Hollar's works were highly regarded for their quality and detail, and they remain an important resource for historians and art enthusiasts alike. "The Siege of Basing House" stands as a testament to Hollar's skill as an etcher and his dedication to documenting the tumultuous events of his time.
