This anonymous engraving, "Titelprent voor prentwerk: Les Forces de l'Europe, Asie, Afrique et Amerique (deel 2)", from 1702-1703, is a title page for a book on fortifications. The print depicts a variety of military scenes including an upper section with a group of soldiers and horses in a landscape and a lower section with a fleet of ships at sea. The scene is framed by a banner with text in French, "Introduction à la Fortification," likely referencing the subject matter of the book. The work is an example of 18th-century illustrative prints and is held in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
