To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The closing years of this war-scarred, weather-beaten veteran's life were spent as Constable of Windsor Castle, ' surrounded with armour and strange implements and old books. ' On the walls of his room in the Old Tower at Windsor, no doubt, hung impressions of the fine mezzotints that in 1903 drifted into the Indian Section of the South Kensington Museum, and no doubt on his table reposed a copy of John Evelyn's Sculptura, with its folded illustration of ' The Little Executioner. ' " ]88 THE GR...EAT EXECUTIONER From the Mezzotint by Prince Rupert The subject is not exactly a pleasant one, but Prince Rupert, like Velasquez, had the hand and eye of a master: he so enthrals you with the treatment that the subject hides. This'mezzotint has character and dash, just the qualities one associates with a leader of horse. The background is alive, and against the magic of its chiaroscuro stands, his head in profile, the full-length figure of the executioner. His right hand grasps the head of St. John, the fingers clutch- ing the hair, and his left hand holds the sword.
