Wenceslaus Hollar's "Title to the Entry into Hemissem" is a 17th-century etching depicting an ornate coat of arms. The design features elaborate scrollwork and a winged angel at the top. It is framed by two cornucopias overflowing with fruit and foliage, and the central inscription details the title and lineage of D. Lamoraldo Claudio Francisco, Count of Valsasine, Tassis, and Sac, as well as his wife, D. Anna de Hornes. The artwork is a prime example of Hollar's skilled use of etching, showcasing his detailed rendering of the coat of arms and surrounding decorative elements.
