This print showcases a rubbing of a medieval engraved brass from 1490. The intricate design depicts the tomb monument of John Wyborne, an esteemed esquire, and his wives Cecily and Agnus. The inscription on the brass urges viewers to pray for their souls, as John passed away on February 16th in the fifth year of King Henry VII's reign. The image transports us back in time to England during the 15th century, offering a glimpse into the rich history of Christianity and its significance within society. It is evident that religion played a crucial role in people's lives, as depicted by this elaborate memorial. The engraving also highlights elements of war and weaponry prevalent during that era.
