A supplemental map insert (papillon) created for the Plan du siège de Kehl, depicting the positions of the French forces up to January 1, 1797, during the closing stages of the Siege of Kehl in the French Revolutionary Wars. Intended as an update or correction to the original siege plan, this insert records the evolving disposition of French defensive works and troop positions as the Austrian siege progressed.
The map illustrates the French lines, fortifications, trenches, batteries, and other defensive positions surrounding the Fortress of Kehl, together with the corresponding Austrian siege works. It provides valuable insight into the changing tactical situation during one of the most significant siege operations on the Rhine frontier, immediately preceding the French evacuation of Kehl in January 1797.
