Le parfait ingénieur françois, ou la fortification offensive et défensive : contenant la construction, l'attaque et la défense des places régulières & irrégulières, selon les méthodes de ... Vauban, & des plus habiles auteurs de l'Europe qui ont écit sur cette science
A 1742 French military engineering treatise by Deidier, published in Paris by Charles-Antoine Jombert, presenting fortification theory from Vauban and other European engineers for working engineers and officers. The four plates show bastioned star-fort plans, angled earthwork profiles and trench diagrams drawn in fine engraved line with dense hatching and labelled reference letters. A designer could take the crisp geometric star layouts and the rhythmic zigzag patterns as strong graphic motifs.
