This print showcases the prestigious Order of Elephant, dating back to 1508. The coat of arms featured in this engraving belonged to Christian II, the Danish viceroy of Norway and later King of Denmark and Norway from 1513 to 1523. The intricate line engraving was created by Ivar Hertzholm for his Breviarium eqvestre publication in Denmark in 1704.

Its presence signifies the esteemed status bestowed upon those who were honored with membership in this exclusive order. The tower depicted alongside the elephant represents fortitude and protection, highlighting the importance placed on defending one's kingdom during that time period. This visual representation serves as a reminder of Christian II's role as both a viceroy and king, tasked with safeguarding Denmark and Norway.
