This anonymous 1726 engraving depicts four maps of fortified cities in France, including Metz, Phalsbourg, Toul, and Nancy. The intricate details showcase the complex network of ramparts, bastions, and other defensive structures characteristic of military architecture in the 18th century. The artwork is a fascinating example of cartographic and military engineering expertise of the period, now housed at the Rijksmuseum.
