Drawing of a 18-pounder

Massol, S. / Renauld, Abraham Leonard

Title Leupe: Model van een Metaale Battery stuk à 18 pond Bals.

This 18-pounder was drawn by the otherwise unknown S. Massol. It is unknown for which fort it was designed or in which period it was produced. We do know this is a copy from the likewise unknown Abraham Leonard Renauld. The luxurious handle suggests the cannon might have been used for specific formal occasions.

Scale-bar of Rhineland feet = 66 'strepen'.
