The author, a cartographer and military engineer, served as inspector of fortifications under Louis XIV and published several important works on military architecture. The present work first appeared in Paris in 1671; the second edition was issued there in 1684, while the present edition constitutes a pirate reprint. The nearly four hundred engravings chiefly depict plans and perspective views of French and Dutch fortresses and towns. Of particular cultural-historical interest are the figures represented in the illustrations, whose costumes identify various nationalities.
