Giovan Battista Belicci's 1598 Venetian treatise on fortification, printed by Roberto Meietti for military engineers and architects, sets out designs for forts on flat ground, hills and water. The pictures are woodcut plans of bastioned fortresses with contour-hatched terrain, plus a pontoon-style floating structure, and a designer might borrow their dense hatched coastlines and geometric star-shaped layouts.
