This 1672 engraving by Romeyn de Hooghe, titled "Illustratie voor 'Den Arbeid van Mars' van Allain Manesson Mallet", depicts a detailed plan for a star-shaped fortress, likely for the city of La Rochelle. The intricate geometric design, including the surrounding fortifications and the city skyline, highlights de Hooghe's skill in technical illustration. This artwork is an excellent example of 17th-century Dutch cartography and military engineering, showcasing the importance of defensive structures in a time of conflict.
