An etching of Adolph of Nassau, King of Germany. A bust length portrait facing left, wearing a helmet and suit of armour. A Latin inscription and title below the portrait reads 'ADOLPHUS.' An inscription in the upper right of the plate lists the object as being 'No. 178'. The print was originally part of Anton Ferdinand von Geissau's Geschichte der römischen Kaiser: mit ihren Bildnissen (1804-1807), which included a series of etched portraits of Roman Emperors by the printmaker Mark Quirin.
