Overlapping drawings of fortifications
A bastioned defence sketched in perspective, page inverted
Drawn with the notebook inverted, the sheet carries overlapping perspective sketches of a fortification. Tiered ramparts edged with battlements and merlons step down toward a projecting angular bastion at the foot of the page. The bundle gives only the cataloguer's caption, so the drawings carry no transcription.

Tiered ramparts and projecting bastion
Rows of battlemented parapets are drawn in receding perspective above a pointed, projecting bastion. The lines overlap and are laid down freely, several passes over the same forms. Only a caption accompanies the sketch, so no measured detail can be read from the bundle.
