A 1573 English military treatise by Peter Whitehorne, printed in London by William Williamson for publisher John Wight, covering battle formations, fortification plans, gunpowder and fireworks for soldiers and military readers. The two pictures are plain woodcut diagrams: an eight-sided fortress plan with bastions and lettered points, and a page header reading Plattes, offering a designer a clear model of geometric star-fort layouts and early printed technical diagrams.
