“The cruell [cruel] handling of William Gardiner an English Merchant, in Portugall [Portugal].” Gardiner hangs from the gallows with his arms flailing. His hands have been cut off and the blood from his severed hands and arms pours out into the fire. A sword, presumably the one used to cut off Gardiner’s hands, lies at the foot of the executioner. Who lowers Gardiner by a chain into an open flame below him while a large crowd gathers around the gallows. Revised design of Luborsky and Ingram 11222/22 and 11223/58, which appears in all four of the early English editions (1563, 1570, 1576, 1583). JPEG file (416 KB).
