"Three Godly Martyrs burned in Smithfield, Anno 1558 March 28." Cuthbert [Cutbert] Simpson [Simson], Hugh Foxe, and John Devenish stand chained and burning at the stake. The man in the middle has his hands clasped in prayer while the two outside men have their arms extended toward the crowd that surrounds them. One soldier at the bottom right of the image tends the fire. Revised version of Luborsky and Ingram 11223/12, which appears four times in both the second (1570) and third (1576) early English editions. In the earlier woodcut editions, only two men are pictured rather than the three here. JPEG file (545 KB).
