This sheet undoubtedly has the coolest illustration of vol. 12 of the Thomason tracts. Here's what's obscure on EEBO.
- The faces of figures B and C are sad, but not wailing with sorrow.
- The names along the bottom are:
"A. Seine Ko[umlaut]n. May[umlaut] an dem Block. B. Doctor Ju[accent]xon. C. Colonell Tomlinſon. D. Colonell Hacker. E.F. Die 2 Executionnen." - The imprint (I think) is
"Franckfurt / ben Sebastian Furcten zu Finden."
The copperplate engraving is faultless, except for a minor fold in the paper along the lower-left corner of the copperplate. This is a top-quality Frankfurt printing.
