Here followeth the manner of the whole proceeding of his Funerall which was celebrated in St. Paules the 16 of Febr. 1586. . . . worke was first drawne and invented by THO. LANT Gent. s'vant to the saide Ho: Knight, and graven in copper by DERICK THEODORE DE BRY, 29 separate Plates arranged in succession, and mounted on cloth to form a long roll (42 feet 6 inches by 8 inches), £60. London, 1587 The only perfect copy of this Procession known is supposed to be that in the British Museum, which was purchased for £39. 18s in Gough's sale by Sir Joseph Banks. There are two other copies in the Heralds' College; but it is not known whether they are imperfect or not. The Pageant is, however, one of extraordinary rarity, as no copy has ever occurred in a public sale except that of Sir Joseph Banks. The younger De Bry must have come to London specially to execute the work: it was not done abroad, as appears from the words "graven in copper by Derick Theodor de Bry in the Citty of London 1587." The first plate contains a fine portrait of Sir Philip Sidney and a representation of the Black Pynnes, the vessel which conveyed his remains back to London, with a short biography signed by Lant. Plates 30 to 34 are absent in this copy, which, however, contains duplicates of some, making up the thirty-four sheets. In addition to the double charm of Sidney's name and the artist's work, a further interest attaches to this remarkable roll in the portraits it contains of various distinguished men, the hero's friends and kinsmen-Fulke Greville, Sir John Harrington, and others. 11647 LONDON.
