"Vier plattegronden" is an anonymous 1735 illustration depicting four fortified towns: Geldern, Stevenswaert, Roermond, and Luik. The intricate pen and ink drawing is filled with rich detail, with each fortified town meticulously rendered within a larger landscape context. This detail and the use of the word "plattegronden," which translates to "floor plans," suggests this work may have been intended for a military or strategic audience, offering insights into the defenses and layouts of these important towns in the 18th century.
