The arte of warre is a 1573 military treatise printed in London by William Williamson for publisher John Wight, translating Machiavelli with Peter Whitehorne's added material on ordering soldiers and battle formations for an English readership. The one picture is a stamp-like library bookplate rather than an illustration from the text, so the scan offers no drawn martial imagery for a designer to adapt.
