Antique German copper engraving of the full state arms of Hesse-Cassel, dated 1795. The heraldic achievement features a complex quartered shield with the arms of Hesse, Thuringia, Hanau, and Katzenelnbogen, crowned with helmets, crests, and two griffin supporters. Sourced in England from a late 18th-century German armorial publication. The impression is complete with fine detail throughout, on warm cream laid paper with light toning and minor foxing consistent with age. Framed in later black-painted wood with cream mat. A significant document of German princely heraldry from a pivotal moment in the Napoleonic era.
The engraving is in good antique condition. The impression is complete and legible with no losses to the image. The paper has aged to a warm cream tone consistent with laid paper of the period, with light overall toning and scattered minor foxing spots visible across the sheet. There are no tears, breaks, or significant losses to the paper. The plate detail is clear throughout, including the fine cross-hatching, the calligraphic German script title, and the 1795 plate date below the achievement. The later black wood frame and cream mat are clean and present well, though the frame is not period and carries no additional value. The hardboard backing is intact.
