The inscription at the bottom of the print is--

"IVSSV RVDOLPHI · II · CÆSARIS AVGVSTI,

ADRIANVS DE VRIES HAGIENSIS FACIEBAT. PRAGUÆ.

OPVS ALTITVDINIS PEDVM OCTO EX ÆRE. 1.5.9.3."

I apply to "N. & Q." in hopes that this "Q." may meet the eye of some

erudite correspondent, and draw forth a satisfactory "N."

Was Prague ever decorated with such a group? If the group in question be

not a myth, what is the meaning of it? Who is meant by the first line of

the inscription?
