Design for the new garrison quarters at Fort Nassau
Knapp, Jan Daniël
Title Leupe: Plans, platte gronden, opstanden voor gebouwen in het fort Nassau.
This unsigned sketch for a new garrison at Fort Nassau was part of the total renovation of the fort between 1735-1740. On the basis of the handwriting, the sketch can be attributed to the engineer and surveyor Jan Daniel Knapp. It was sent to the Republic in 1739. The second and ground floor are displayed here. Next to the offices of command, the second floor also contains an hospital and church, whereas the ground floor maily serves for storage.
Origin: book of letters number 15 on page 45A.
Scale-bar of 100 Rhineland feet = 10 ‘strepen’.
