This detailed engraving from 1726 depicts the city of Jülich, Germany. The anonymous artist provides a clear map of the city's fortifications, including the citadel, and its surrounding landscape. This work is a prime example of 18th century cartography, showcasing the importance of detailed mapping during the period of European expansion and exploration. The engraving's meticulous detail and clear depiction of the city's layout would have been invaluable for military strategists and urban planners.
