Military architecture and a study for artillery fire
Two pen sketches: a fortification (drawn upside-down) and a gun position
The sheet carries two pen-and-ink sketches, one of them drawn upside-down relative to the notebook's normal orientation. The e-Leo captions identify the drawings as military architecture and a study for artillery fire. The upper figure shows a fortified structure with crossing diagonal members, while the lower figure sets a walled work in perspective with a raised emplacement and a crenellated flank. No connected prose was transcribed for this page.
