About the workCaspar Scheuren often carried out commissions for the Prussian royal family. His commemorative print for the golden wedding anniversary of Wilhelm I of Prussia and Augusta, née von Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, shows their respective national coats of arms above their portraits. Printed in black and white, their likenesses were probably not realised by Scheuren himself, but instead pasted into the medallions retrospectively.
