This 1702-1703 etching by Laurens Scherm features four detailed plans of fortifications in present-day France and Luxembourg. "Plattegronden van Luxemburg, Thionville, Montmédy en Damvillers" depicts the cities of Thionville, Montmedy, and Damvillers in France and Luxembourg city in Luxembourg. These meticulously drawn plans showcase the strategic importance of these fortified towns during the early 18th century. The work, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the military engineering and cartographic practices of the period.
