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 is a 1684 French treatise on the art of war by Allain Manesson-Mallet, printed in Amsterdam for a military readership and illustrated with copperplate engravings of fortifications. Its pictures are plan-view and bird's-eye drawings of star-shaped bastioned fortresses such as Hesdin, set against flat landscapes with small figures, windmills and sailing ships, offering a designer clear geometric layouts with strong radiating outlines and sparse foreground detail.
