The Image of Irelande, by John Derrick (1581)
The EUL copy is unique in having a complete set of the woodcut plates, which provide important illustrati ons of Irish costume and custom and of English military gear of the late 16th century. Like a strip cartoon, the plates tell the story of the subjugatio n of the Irish rebels by Sir Henry Sidney, Lord-Deput y of Ireland under Queen Elizabeth of England.
