Description de l'isle de Sicile, et de ses côtes maritimes : avec les plans de toutes ses forteresses nouvellement tirés, selon l'etât où elles se trouvent presentement
A 1719 Vienna survey of Sicily's coasts and fortresses by Giuseppe Formenti, published by Jean Van Ghelen in French for military and travel readers. Its plates are precise engraved plans of star-shaped fortress bastions set in flat or sea-washed ground, with a few decorative headpieces and ornaments that a designer could borrow for fortification layouts, coastal maps, or baroque scrollwork.
