French artist Alain Malle' and published in 1683
Reminds me of the chain that used to stretch across mouth of Portsmouth harbour in England (home of the English and later British navies) - as a defensive measure. This was celebrated in the city's coat of arms - around the unicorn (one of the supporters of the arms) is wrapped a representation of "The Mighty Chain of Iron", a Tudor
defensive chain across Portsmouth Harbour.
