Does anyone know of a source for plans of cities showing fortifications,
particularly those star-shaped ones built by colonial powers in the 17th
and 18th centuries?  An inquirer has a portrait of an 18th century English
gentleman holding such a plan, which we are trying to identify - could be
North America, India or perhaps Europe, according to her family research.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you,
