EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an illustration from an 18th-century encyclopedia, depicting the ingenious fortification methods devised by the brilliant mind of Menno van Coehoorn. The plate displays a variety of intricate defense structures, including walls, bastions, and ravelins, meticulously designed to protect strategic locations during times of war. Menno van Coehoorn's revolutionary first system found widespread application throughout the Netherlands, with notable fortified cities such as Nijmegen, Breda, and Bergen op Zoom benefiting from his expertise. Even Mannheim in Germany was fortified using these innovative techniques. Meanwhile, his second system proved invaluable in fortifying Belgrade and Temesvar in eastern Europe. The intricacy of this illustration is truly remarkable; it offers a glimpse into the meticulous planning required to construct impregnable castles and strongholds. Each element serves a specific purpose - every wall strategically positioned to withstand enemy attacks while providing optimal defensive capabilities for those within. As we delve into this historical image captured by DAVID PARKER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, we are transported back to an era where warfare necessitated not only bravery but also ingenuity. This visual representation allows us to appreciate the architectural brilliance behind these fortifications that played crucial roles in protecting nations during turbulent times.
