This anonymous engraving from 1712, titled *Monument met hoornen des overvloeds en wapenschilden*, depicts the coat of arms of Pieter de Leide, a prominent figure in 18th century Leiden. The artwork features two pillars flanking a coat of arms adorned with a crown and the motto "Semper Fidelis Nec Tutus." The pillars are decorated with cornucopias, signifying abundance, and the inscription below details de Leide’s various titles including President-Bourgomaster of Leiden and Hoog-Heemraad of the Rhineland. This small, detailed etching serves as a commemorative portrait, offering a glimpse into the heraldic symbols and official titles of a prominent figure in Dutch history.
