Title Leupe: Plan van een fort.

This is a floor plan for a redoubt on an unknown location in the Berbice River’s estuary.

The plan appears to be drafted simultaneously with the reconstruction proposals of fort Nassau and the redoubt Brandwagt, in fact it might even be part of it.

Hence, it most likely dates from the second half of the eighteenth century.

Next to the four bastions, the inner compartments and staircases as also drawn.

Scale-bar 40 ? = 120 ‘strepen’.
