Drawing of a 24-pounder

Kuhlmann, Jan Daniel

Title Leupe: Verhevene tekening van het affuyt van een Metaele 24 Ponder, alsmede van de voorwaegen, syn ass en deszelfs grondteekening.

These views on a 24-pounder and its limber are drawn by the German bombardier Kuhlmann. The clear details of the drawing suggest Kuhlmann was schooled as a draughtsman. It is unknown for which fort this design was made.

Scale-bar of Rhineland feet = 35 'strepen'
