A woodcut of Henry VIII features on the title-page of this 1535 German account of the trial and execution of Thomas More, which sold for $11,500 (£9055).
Translated from a Paris version that had appeared earlier in that same year of 1535, an 8pp German newsletter giving an account of the execution of Thomas More sold for $11,500 (£9055) as part of the Eric Caren archive at Christie’s New York (25/20/12% buyer’s premium) on June 15.
More is sympathetically viewed as a man of courage and constancy and the work includes a description of his daughter, Margaret, clinging to her father as he was led to the Tower of London.
