"Vignet met het wapen van de stad Bern" is a 19th-century engraving by Franciscus Johannes de Hondt. This small, detailed print features the coat of arms of Bern, Switzerland, a shield with a rampant lion, flanked by a lion and a bear, all holding the shield. The inscription "S.P.Q.B." stands for "Senatus Populusque Bernensis," or "The Senate and People of Bern." This emblem serves as a visual reminder of the city's history and heritage.
