- One of a set of twenty-one plates of Protestant reformers, originally produced by John Faber I. They were later acquired by Elizabeth Bakewell and Henry Parker who had them retouched by Richard Houston, and re-lettered removing any mention of Faber. Chaloner Smith records that in 1759 these reworked plates were used to illustrate the "Lives of the Principal Reformers" by Richard Rolt.
