Description:
Very decorative fortification plan of the city of Pinerolo (historically known as Pignerol) in the Piedmont region of Italy. The map illustrates the elaborate bastion fortifications designed to protect the city during a period of intense European military conflict. During the 17th century, Pinerolo was a crucial strategic stronghold for France within the Italian peninsula, often associated with the celebrated military engineer Sébastien Le Prestre de Vauban, whose designs influenced many of the plans in De Fer’s atlas.
The engraving comes from the Nicolas de Fer atlas “Les Forces de l’Europe, ou Description des principales villes, avec leurs fortifications.” engraved by Herman van Loon, published in Paris, 1693.
