A woodcut illustration of a book burning. In the center, two men with long agricultural tools prod a big bonfire on which are sticks of wood and several huge books, fancy ones with locked straps holding them shut. Standing around watching are a bunch of soldiers or guards with spears wearing somewhat fanciful classical uniforms, and to the right one robed man.
