Project plan for the strenghtening of Fort Zeelandia

Anoniem / Anonymous

Title Leupe: Plan van het fort Zeelandia.

This appears to be a plan for strenghtening the outworks of fort Zeelandia through bastions. The curtain walls which are usually drawn at the the outwork on other maps of the fortress are changed to ramparts here. The inner fort is drawn as usual with all bastions still in tact, which makes it possible to conclude this map was drawn before the removal of the inner landwards bastions in 1781-1782.

North is up.
