This 1782 engraving by the Klauber brothers depicts the Zeughaus, or armory, in Mannheim, Germany. The detailed etching presents a front view of the building, emphasizing its classical architectural style with symmetrical windows, a prominent arched entrance, and a mansard roof. The surrounding courtyard features figures engaged in various activities, providing a glimpse into daily life during this period. The inscription "Das Zeughaus" and "L'Arsenal" further highlights the building's function as a place for storing weapons and military equipment. The print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a valuable historical record of this significant architectural landmark.
