Ecclesiae anglicanae trophæa, siue, Sanctor martyrum, qui pro Christo catholicæq fidei veritate asserenda : antiquo recentioriq persecutionum tempore, mortem in Anglia subierunt, passiones, Romæ in Collegio Anglico
This 1584 Roman book, printed by Bartholomaeus Grassi, gathers engraved scenes of English Catholic martyrs for a Latin readership, with designs attributed to Giovanni Battista Cavalieri after Pomarancio. The engravings are dense, high-contrast black-and-white plates with crowded figures, smoke, and layered architecture, useful to a designer for strong figure grouping, dramatic lighting through cross-hatching, and staged narrative compositions.
