EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving from Robert Fludd's "Utriusque cosmi historia" takes us back to the 17th century, immersing us in a scene of intense military conflict. The image showcases gunners laying siege to a moated and fortified enclosure, employing ingenious engineering techniques to protect themselves and their weaponry. In this aerial view, we witness a large group of men strategically positioned around the enclosure. They are armed with cannons and earth-filled baskets known as gabions, which serve as both shields for the attackers and platforms for their guns. This illustration beautifully captures the artistry and craft involved in warfare during this era. The fortified wall stands tall against the relentless assault, but these determined soldiers remain undeterred. Their expertise in artillery is evident as they prepare to unleash their firepower upon the enemy stronghold. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation and tension as history unfolds before our eyes. As we delve into this engraved image, it transports us deep into the past when conflicts were fought with gunpowder instead of modern weaponry. It serves as a reminder of how military strategies have evolved over time while showcasing the bravery and resilience of those who fought on battlefields centuries ago. Through Fludd's intricate illustration technique, we are granted an intimate glimpse into an important moment in history—a testament to human ingenuity amidst adversity.
