Беларуская: Гравюра на тытульным аркушы інфармацыйнай лістоўкі г. Аўгсбурга «Warrhafftige und erschreckliche Zeitung von dem grausamen Feind dem Moskowiter» («Праўдзівыя і жудасныя весткі пра жорсткага ворага маскаля»), 1563 г. Інфармацыйны лісток прысвечаны ўзяццю г. Полацку войскамі Маскоўскай дзяржавы. Натуральна, гравёр ніколі сам не бачыў Полацку і яго аблогі, таму намаляваў уяўны Полацк і яго ўяўную аблогу.
Русский: Гравюра на титульном листе информационной листовки г. Аугсбурга "Warrhafftige und erschreckliche Zeitung von dem grausamen Feind dem Moskowiter" ("Правдивые и ужасные известия о жестоком враге московите"), 1563 г. Информационный листок посвящён взятию г. Полоцка войсками Московского государства. Естественно гравёр никогда сам не видел Полоцка и его осады, поэтому изобразил воображаемый Полоцк и его воображаемую осаду.
