The Hanoverians tried to retake Munster, but on 15 September the French succeeded in lifting the siege of the town. The Hanoverians returned again on 30 October, and after a 20-day siege, the French had to abandon it, leaving with the honours of war on 21 November 1759. Published in 1765 by the cartographer Jean de Beaurain (1696-1771) as an illustration of his "Great Map of Germany, with the events that took place during the Seven Years War". French edition, 1765.
