Contributing Institution: Southern Methodist University Bridwell Library and Ohio State University Libraries Description: Twenty-two Protestant martyrs wait for death. These Protestants are roped together and led from Colchester (Essex) to London for interrogation by Bishop Bonner. The group is led and followed by officials on horseback and also accompanied by another official on foot. The engraving includes scripture at the top of the image that reads "Ye shall be led before Princes and Rulers for my Names Sake. Matthew 10." Revised version of Luborsky and Ingram 11222/48 and 11223/95, which appear in all four early English editions (1563. 1570, 1576, 1583). JPEG file (471 KB). -
Contributing Institution: Southern Methodist University Bridwell Library and Ohio State University Libraries Description: The burning of three "godly saints," including Julins Palmer, I. Gwin, and Thomas Askine. The three men stand tied together and are fully clothed. The martyr to the farthest right has his arms outstretched while the other two have their arms pulled close to their bodies and their hands clasped in prayer. The three martyrs are surrounded by large flames and large clouds of black smoke hover above their heads. The men are surrounded by a group of soldiers, several of whom attend to the fire and faggots. In earlier editions, this martyrdom is illustrated by Luborsky and Ingram 11223/37. This engraving, however, appears as a new design. JPEG file (521 KB). -
Contributing Institution: Southern Methodist University Bridwell Library and Ohio State University Libraries Description: “The description of Dr. Cranmer, how he was plucked down from the stage, by Friars and Papists, for the true Confessions of his faith.” While Doctor Henry Cole ("D. Cole.") preaches from a pulpit, Cranmer (“Dr. Cranmer”) is pulled down from the stage by friars and clerics and arrested for the true confession of his faith. A congregation and a group of clerics observe Cranmer's arrest. The event occurs at the University Church of St. Mary, in Oxford. Revised version of Luborsky and Ingram 11222/43 and 11223/87, which appear in all four early English editions (1563, 1570, 1576, 1583). JPEG file (515 KB). -
Contributing Institution: Southern Methodist University Bridwell Library and Ohio State University Libraries Description: “Seven Godly and constant Martyrs, suffering at one fire together in Smithfield.” Encircled by bundles of faggots, the seven martyrs, including at least one woman, stand back-to-back and chained to three stakes. Each of the martyrs is fully clothed and is identified as (from the top, clockwise): “B. Green,” "Whittle," "Went," "Isab," "Foster," "I. Warne," and "T. Brown.” A richly dressed man sits atop a horse at the right of the image and appears to be administering the execution. A group of observers consisting of both soldiers and civilians surrounds the pyre. Unlike earlier woodcut editions of this illustration, the names of the martyrs are included. Revised version of Luborsky and Ingram 11222/42 and 11223/85, which appear in all four early English editions (1563, 1570, 1576, 1583). JPEG file (541 KB). -
Contributing Institution: Southern Methodist University Bridwell Library and Ohio State University Libraries Description: Four prisoners sit in stocks in a prison cell in Lollards Tower. The prisoner farthest left in the image, identified as "George King," sits on a stool with both of his hands and feet in the stocks. The man directly to King's right is standing with only his hands in the stocks and is identified as "Iohn [John] Wade." The man directly to Wade's right, "I. [J.] Leyes," is standing with one foot in the stocks and one hand in the stocks and the other hand raised to his head. There is also another shadowy figure, possibly the jailer, that appears directly behind Leyes. "Andrew" lies on the ground with his feet in the stocks; it is unclear whether he is alive or dead. Revised version of Luborsky and Ingram 11222/36 and 11223/77, which appear in all four early English editions (1563, 1570, 1576, 1583). JPEG file (471 KB). -
Contributing Institution: Southern Methodist University Bridwell Library and Ohio State University Libraries Description: Margery Polley, fully clothed with hands upraised and tears streaming down her face, stands chained to the stake at Tonbridge. While the flames engulf her and a large black cloud of smoke hovers above her, a crowd of soldiers surrounds her and watches her burn. Revised version of Luborsky and Ingram 11223/73 which appears in the second (1570), third (1576), and fourth (1583) early English editions. In the earlier woodcut editions, Polley's arms are folded across her chest rather than extended upward. JPEG file (52.7 KB). -
Contributing Institution: Southern Methodist University Bridwell Library and Ohio State University Libraries Description: Thomas Haukes, bare-chested and with arms raised above his head (possibly grasping the stake or clasped together in prayer), burns at the stake at Coxehall in Essex. As he is engulfed in flames he cries "Lord receive my Spirit." He is surrounded by a rowdy crowd of soldiers on foot and on horseback. A black cloud hovers above Haukes. The caption of the image indicates that this martyrdom took place on June 10th, 1555. Revised design of Luborsky and Ingram 11222/31 and 11223/69, which appear in all four early English editions (1563, 1570, 1576, 1583). JPEG file (412 KB). -
Contributing Institution: Southern Methodist University Bridwell Library and Ohio State University Libraries Description: Rawlins White, fully clothed with a cloth tied around his head, hands upraised, and with a chain across his chest, stands amidst a large fire while a dark cloud hovers above him. To the large crowd gathered to watch, or perhaps to a monk standing on a platform in the front of the crowd, he says: “Ah thou Naughty Hypocrite." In the foreground of the picture several men plead for White’s life with arms outstretched. This is a completely new design based very loosely on Luborsky and Ingram 11223/38 but differing from the martyrdoms illustrated by "The burning of Richard Ffeurus," "The burning of James Bainham," "The burning of Thomas Bilney," "The burning of Adam Wallace," and "The burning of Doctor Farrar."
