Plates 3.18-3.24 of Vetusta Monumenta depict Queen Elizabeth I’s funeral procession on April 28, 1603. The procession is portrayed in a panoramic ribbon. The order is counterintuitive, as the bottom panel precedes the top on five of the six plates; only on 3.24 does the top panel precede the bottom. Engravings by James Basire Jr. after drawings attributed to William Camden, although the attribution has not been proven. 475 x 668 mm, 475 x 672, 475 x 640 mm, 473 x 610 mm, 475 x 620 mm, 474 x 672, and 475 x 614 mm. Published by the Society of Antiquaries of London in 1791. Current location: Western Manuscripts, Add MS 5408, British Library, London, UK.
Plate 3.25 of Vetusta Monumenta depicts two baptismal fonts with font covers located in parish churches at Ufford (early fifteenth century) and Sudbury (late fourteenth century) in Suffolk. The covers survive today due to conservation efforts initiated in the eighteenth century, including the publication of this print. Engraving by James Basire Sr. after J. Johnson (Sudbury) and John Carter (Ufford). 487 x 311 mm. Published by the Society of Antiquaries of London in 1792.
