This 17th century print, *Plattegrond van Belfort*, depicts the fortified city of Belfort, France, in intricate detail. Created by an anonymous artist between 1695 and 1697, the map showcases the complex network of defensive structures surrounding the town, including moats, ramparts, and bastions, likely intended for military or strategic purposes. The print, now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection, provides valuable historical insight into the city's urban layout and military architecture during this period.
