This black-and-white portrait shows an older man with a long beard and a tall hat. He’s holding a small box with a cross on top, and his robe has detailed folds. The background is plain, but his face and hands are sharply drawn. The name below reads *Hugo Latymerus*, which is a Latin version of Hugh Latimer, a religious leader. The text praises his faith before death. Next, check out engraving to see how artists like this carved fine lines into metal to make prints.
