Contributing Institution: Southern Methodist University Bridwell Library and Ohio State University Libraries Description: John Stillman, fully clothed and chained by the waist and neck to the stake, stands with hands clasped and outstretched toward the sky. Two men kneel in the front of the scene with their arms outstretched in supplication. Other men, who appear to be soldiers, stand in the background of the image. Stillman's martyrdom is also depicted in the second early English edition (1570) with Luborsky and Ingram 11223/19, which is used nine times in the second edition to represent the martyrdom of nine different men. However, in this edition, Stillman's martyrdom is a revised design of Luborsky and Ingram 11223/16. JPEG file (291 KB). -

Contributing Institution: Southern Methodist University Bridwell Library and Ohio State University Libraries Description: A barebacked man, blood streaming down his back, walks past a crowd of onlookers while carrying a taper and being flogged by a man marked "Somner [Summoner]" who walks behind him. Although the engraving is marked as the penance of Thomas Pye and John Mendham, only one penitent is pictured in the illustration and it is therefore unclear who the image represents. This is very similar to the engraving titled "Displing of John Florence," yet is a different revision of Luborsky and Ingram 11223/15. This martyrdom is represented by Luborsky and Ingram 11223/17 in the second edition (1570) and by Luborsky and Ingram 11223/15 in the third and fourth English editions (1576, 1583).

Four kneeling men have their arms reaching toward him, perhaps in supplication or in praise. Soldiers stand nearby with weapons. This is very similar to the engraving used to depict the martyrdom of William Tailor [Taylor], yet it is a different revision of Luborsky and Ingram 11223/16. JPEG file (494 KB). -

Two men stoke the fire surrounding him. The crowd looking on includes a man on horseback, a man clothed in ecclesiastical garb, many soldiers, other men, and at least one woman.
