Summary

Description

Full-page engraving in the German periodical Das Buch für Alle: illustrierte Blätter zur Unterhaltung und Belehrung für die Familie und Jedermann, volume 10 (1875), issue 3 (Heft 3), printed p. 61. It shows two people tied to a tall stake above a fire, with a crowd and mounted onlookers, buildings, palm trees and mountains.

The composition matches H. P. Blavatsky's Scrapbooks, volume 1, page 4, item 1. The printed German caption begins “Die Verbrennung” and refers to the accompanying text on p. 62. The image bears the signatures “RENÉ VICTOR MEUNIER” and “SMEETON-TILLY”; their individual roles are not independently assigned here.
