This is an image of an old illustration or engraving, which appears as a single scene with two main activities depicted within a vertically elongated oval frame. The style suggests it may be from the early modern period. The image is divided into two distinct halves by a cloud-like horizontal line. In the upper half, written text identifies the scene as "S.MERCVRIVS," which likely refers to Mercury, a figure from Roman mythology known as the messenger of the gods. In this scene, Mercury is depicted with wings on his heels and a helmet with wings, which are traditional attributes of this deity. This winged figure seems to be handing an object to a person in the lower half of the image. The lower half carries the label "MIL.ES.," suggesting a militaresque or knightly theme. Here, a person is standing on land reaching toward Mercury. This person is wearing a hat adorned with a large feather, a tunic, and a skirt-like garment that might be representative of historical military attire. Behind them, there are two figures on horseback, one appearing to spear the other, which adds to the martial theme suggested by the label. This portion of the image could potentially depict a legendary narrative or a symbolic scene that commonly appeared in art or literature of that time period. Additionally, there is a number and what appears to be a signature or a mark of the engraver or artist, "23 Israel ex. Noue." Overall, it resembles the iconographic representations common in art and illustrations from the 16th to the 18th century.

This image appears to be a detailed black and white engraving, likely from a historical or mythological context. In the foreground stands a soldier wearing traditional armor, including a helmet with a plume and a short tunic. He is pointing or reaching upwards toward an angelic figure in the sky. This figure, depicted with wings and flowing garments, is extending an object, possibly a sword, toward the soldier. The angelic figure is emerging from stylized clouds. In the background, two individuals on horseback are shown in motion, seemingly engaged in battle or a chase. The text at the top reads "S. MERCVRIVS MIL ES," which could be translated to "Saint Mercurius Soldier," suggesting that this scene illustrates an episode from the life of Saint Mercurius, a Christian martyr and soldier saint. The bottom of the image includes the number "23" and a signature, possibly "Israel ex.," which might indicate the engraver or artist. The style of the engraving, including the line work and shading, gives the image a classical and historical appearance.
