This anonymous engraving from 1702-1703 depicts the armory of Fort Mont Royal, a military fort in Montreal, Canada. The detailed, bird's eye view illustration showcases the structure's layout, including the courtyard and surrounding landscape, and provides an invaluable glimpse into the architectural design and defense strategies employed in early 18th-century fortifications. The inclusion of a cutaway view of one of the buildings further enhances the understanding of its internal structure. This artwork offers historical insight into military architecture and urban development of the period, and remains a significant piece in the Rijksmuseum's collection.
