Image Title: Help Is Never Failing

Description: The pictura of this emblem by the Italian jurist and writer Andrea Alciati (1492 – 1550 CE) features a soldier clinging to his shield in order to keep from drowning, keeping him safe from his adversaries, who watch him from the shoreline, just as it did when he was in the heat of battle. The pictura and subscriptio together imply that one will always find help if one takes sufficient care of what one has been given.
