The century marked a pivotal period in military architecture as the art of fortification evolved to meet the challenges of advancing warfare. This intriguing assemblage of plans offers a glimpse into the strategic minds of military engineers and architects of the time. The fortifications showcased in this print span a range of designs, each with its unique characteristics.
