This pair of small Dutch engravings illustrate a variety of military hardware. The first is based on Seutter's great description of a three-masted 96 gun man-o-war. The rendering includes a fine view of the ship with detailed diagrams of its equipment, construction, rigging, cutaway detail of the decks, etc. The second illustrates several different types of canon and artillery.
