Observations vpon Caesars comentaries
A 1609 London edition of Clement Edmondes's English commentary on Julius Caesar's account of the civil war, a military treatise written for an English readership interested in ancient warfare. The four pictures are engraved battle plans: ships, troops and fortified towns laid out as maps, with one page of rows of soldiers in formation. A designer could take from them the dense, labelled cartographic style of early modern military diagrams, with tiny figures arranged in grids and sea scenes.
