Both of these ballads have the same woodcut, which depicts three frames. In the first (upper) frame, a bound man is dragged behind two horses; in the second (left) frame, a man sits on the gallows above a hanged man; in the third (bottom) frame, the hanged man is drawn and quartered in front of a fire.
