This anonymous 17th-century engraving, "Twee typen Spaanse bolwerken, 1624-1625," depicts two types of Spanish fortifications. The detailed drawings show the layouts and features of the fortifications from an aerial perspective. These plans, created during the Dutch Golden Age, likely served as military training tools or for recording and disseminating defensive strategies. The artwork is a testament to the technological advancements and interest in military architecture during the period. This engraving is now part of the collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
