Richard Houeden, fully clothed and with his arms outstretched in supplication, is tied to the stake by a rope around his neck and shoulders and a chain around his waist. Bundles of faggots surround him, but no flame or torches are portrayed. Two men kneel in front of Houeden, one to his left and one to his right, and both men have their arms outstretched toward him. Several onlookers stand nearby. In earlier editions this martyrdom is illustrated by Luborsky and Ingram 11223/18 in which the martyr is illustrated alone and engulfed in flames. Revised design of Luborsky and Ingram 11223/16; similar revisions of this design are used to depict the burnings of William White and of William Taylor Priest. JPEG file (410 KB).
