This 17th-century engraving by an unknown artist, titled "Verschillende van de belangrijkste typen schansen en vestingen" (Various of the most important types of redoubts and fortifications), depicts six different designs for fortified structures. The detailed, line-drawn illustrations demonstrate the use of bastions and other defensive elements. The work provides valuable insight into the art of fortification during a period of rapid military innovation. This engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a testament to the evolution of defensive architecture and its significance in Dutch history.
