Les travaux de Mars, ou, L'art de la guerre : divisé en trois parties ... : avec un ample détail de la milice des Turcs, tant pour l'attaque que pour la deffence : ouvrage enrichi de plus de quatre cens planches gravées en taille-douce
Les travaux de Mars, or L'art de la guerre, is a 1684 military treatise by Allain Manesson-Mallet, printed in Amsterdam by Jan and Gillis Janson, and written for officers and engineers studying Ottoman army methods for attack and defence. The four engraved plates show landscaped battle lines of mounted and foot troops, siege trenches and a walled town on a shore, and fortifications under bombardment with smoke clouds, drawn in fine linear engraving with dense hatching and small figures that suit historical or map-like graphic reference.
