Monochrome engraving for the cover of a series of almanacs, "Welt und Staats Calender."
Hermes, with caduceus, winged helmet, and winged sandals, holds up a placard proclaiming the title. Below, in a large orb or round shielf, a screne of knights riding into battle from the left. To the left of the orb, a man in a loincloth about to swing a scythe, standing atop the head and forepaw of a dragon. To the right of the orb, a man in armor with a rooster on his shield and helmet, raising a sword. In front of him, a squirrel. In the background are ships and a scene of battle.
