Walter Mille, fully clothed with his hands clasped in prayer and extended upward, stands chained to the stake and surrounded by an abundance of faggots. He is surrounded by soldiers who are supervising his martyrdom. Two men kneel in the foreground of the image at the feet of Mille, arms extended upward toward him; they appear to be pleading for his life. In earlier editions, this martyrdom is illustrated by Luborsky and Ingram 11223/19, which appears in the second (1570), third (1576), and fourth (1583) early English editions. Revised version of Luborsky and Ingram 11223/16, the same design used to illustrate "The burning of John Goose" and "The burning of Wolfgangus." JPEG file (447 KB).
