This anonymous 18th-century engraving, "Plattegrond van Haguenau," depicts a bird's-eye view of the fortified city of Haguenau in Alsace, France. The detailed map, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, showcases the city's layout, including its walls, fortifications, and surrounding countryside. The intricate lines and hatchings create a sense of depth and texture, offering a valuable historical glimpse into the city's urban planning and military architecture.
