1764 Fortification Military & WAR Forts Illustrated Artillery Ballistics Vauban

1764 Fortification Military & WAR Forts Illustrated Artillery Ballistics Vauban

Guillaume le Blond’s ‘Elements of Fortification’ was a highly desired 18^th-century military handbook. In this book, Le Blond describes the techniques used by world military powers to build their forts, much of which comes from earlier French military authors such as Vauban. This treatise incorporates information on artillery and ballistic weapons, machines used in military architecture and warfare, the invention and development of gunpowder, and much more.

The content of this work is notable and desirable; however, the illustrated engravings make this work so much more popular. Engravings include views of forts, walls, and ammunition!
