This anonymous engraving, created sometime between 1685 and 1720, features a swan with its neck bent in a circle, a symbol of the Landgraves of Hesse-Cassel. The circular design, reminiscent of a heraldic shield, displays the names and reign dates of the Landgraves around the swan. It's likely this print was created for a commemorative or celebratory purpose, reflecting the lineage of the Landgraves of Hesse-Cassel, a significant German dynasty.
