# The engineer's plan of the fortress

A hand-drawn and hand-coloured plan of Petrovaradin Fortress, signed at the lower right by Tomerlin, an engineer conductor in the imperial fortification service. The sheet shows the Upper Fortress on its rock, the hornwork and the Water Town below, with every bastion lettered and named in the cartouche key, and a compass rose and scale bar on the open ground to the right. Along the foot runs a panorama of the fortress as seen from the Neusatz bank. The key also records the pressure machine that lifted Danube water into the fortress cistern. It is drawn on silk, with the crimson border and its hand-stitched edge showing on all four sides, and it is oriented east, so the Danube runs across the sheet rather than down it.
