Project plan for the extension of Willemstad and fort Amsterdam
Schrijver, Cornelis / Esdré, Godfried Carel / Snoek, Adriaan
Title Leupe: Plan van het fort Amsterdam en de Willemstad.
This project plan for strengthening the defences of Willemstad and Fort Amsterdam is based on the 1741-1742 primary surveys, basic maps and proposals by the military engineers Carel Gustaaf Schrijver and Godfried Carel Esdré. The ground plan shows relatively modest new fortifications on the eastern side of the fort and the existing town only. The index is transcribed but shows few differences with the original map.
