This chapter discusses eighteenth century graphic production around the royal sites built
in the vicinity of Madrid as a contribution to the general study of engineers’ drawings in
Spain in that timeframe. Given the new status accorded military engineers by the
Bourbon dynasty, these professionals’ specific participation in the places and sites
occupied by the court would appear to merit analysis, drawing parallels between their
own and Spanish architects’ and master builders’ graphic skills. The drawings selected
for the study were chosen on the grounds of their dual role as survey records of existing
circumstances and designs for possible improvement. This brief tour reveals the
magnitude of the contribution made by the Crown’s new agents.
P. 69-80.
