Note
Simon Henricus Sack was almost undoubtedly a younger brother of Carl August Sack, and so Bleek’s great-great uncle. According to the engraved inscription Sack was born at Hecklingen on June 27, 1723 and died at Glogavia on December 2, 1791. Presumably his family commissioned the engraving in his memory as print artist Daniel Berger completed it 17 years after Simon Sack’s death in 1808, three years after he engraved the portrait of Carl and Margareta Sack.
