This and the following woodcut do not actually belong to the Turks set, but they have been kept with the other prints for two centuries. They are probably the sole survivors of a set of Russian figures, likewise designed by Erhard Schön and published by Hans Guldenmund. This is Vasili III, who was Grand Prince of Moscow from 1505 to 1533. According to the accompanying text, the Muscovites were as much of a threat as the Turks.
