Les discovrs militaires
A military treatise printed in Paris in 1618 by the widow of M. Guillemot and S. Thiboust, written by Du Praissac on attack and defence in warfare. Its pictures are plain line diagrams of siege trenches, bastioned fortress plans with lettered keys, and rows of pikemen marching in formation, giving a designer clear, schematic models of early modern fortification and drill layouts that work well as simple geometric motifs.
