Description:
This set of five plans of fortifications seem to be from a much larger collection. Their provenance is unknown, as is their date, their creator, their purpose and their locality. They have been drawn in pencil, so that the three of them which are uncoloured are somewhat faded. The only words on them are French, 'toise' being a French linear measurement equivalent to 6.395 feet, and 'Tab.' referring to 'table' or 'diagram/plan'. No. 3, which is pencil only and has no scale, appears to show a fortification on a hill, on a river loop, with defence in the river. Nos. 1 and 2, which are also pencil drawings, have scale bars graded 0-200 'toises', and show embattlement fortifications. Nos. 4 and 5, which have been coloured, are on a smaller scale of 0-20 'toises', and show sections and plans of a smaller fortification in a ditch.
