Construction Drawing of a Cannon
Construction Drawing of a Cannon by an unknown artist. The image shows a technical drawing of a cannon on aged paper with a black border. The drawing is divided into two main views: one from the side and one from the top. The side view shows the cannon at an angle, pointing to the left. The top view displays a wheel with spokes. Both views are rendered in shades of brown and tan. To the left of the side view, a scale is drawn vertically. Underneath the top view, a long, thin rectangle represents the cannon's length. Several lines and measurements are scattered throughout the drawing. The background of the drawing is beige with darker spots. The overall appearance suggests an old, historical document.
