This engraving by Romeyn de Hooghe, dated 1672, illustrates a construction method described by the Dutch engineer, Doggen. The detailed illustration shows a geometrical drawing of a fortified structure, featuring a star-shaped bastion and a curved wall. Below, a picturesque landscape depicts a bridge, buildings, and trees, adding a visual context to the engineering principles. This print, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, exemplifies de Hooghe's skill in combining scientific precision with artistic finesse.
