Engraving of a long-maned horse standing in profile, with a distant battle of soldiers on a hilly plain beneath cloudy skies.

Asturcus, legendary horse of Julius Caesar, engraving

An engraved horse stands in profile on raised ground, its long wavy mane and tail flowing, while a battle of mounted and foot soldiers spreads across a hilly plain under streaked clouds. Fine hatched lines and the inscription N 21 at the top mark it as a printed plate.
