This print is packed with coats of arms. Around the edges, you see shields labeled things like "Heathen Britaines," "Kings of Scotland," and "Danish Kings." In the middle, a crowned lion and unicorn stand on either side of a shield with a harp. Two cherubs hold up a banner with text. The text reads: *"The Achievement of Our Soveraigne King James."* It’s a fancy way to show his royal connections. The whole thing looks like a family tree of power.
