Note: Art collection no. 456. This was published in Casparus Commelin, Vervolg van de Beschryving der Stadt Amsterdam (Amsterdam: 1693), p. 1028. A slightly altered version was published in Casparus Commelin, Beschryvinge van Amsterdam . . . Tweede Deel (Amsterdam: 1726), p. 1028. The Martyrs Mirror image of Anabaptists in a boat (also by Jan Luyken, book 2, p. 385, Eeghen 735) is of the same event but differs quite a bit from these two. Used in Mennonite Life, Mid-year 1974, p. 5.
