No. 1 The work illustrates the naval battles in Shakespeare's era, from Raphael Holinshed's Chronicles (1577).

No. 4 The scene depicts the Battle of Stoke Field, the last clash of the Wars of the Roses, fought on 16 June 1487. Taken from Holinshed's Chronicles, first published in 1577.
No. 5 The print depicts the Battle of Ravenna, fought on 11 April 1512 during the War of the League of Cambrai. The work is attributed to the German artist Hans Burgkmair the Elder (1473–1531). It is a typical German Renaissance woodcut (xilografia), characterized by a dense composition of soldiers armed with pikes and halberds.
No. 6 The historical woodcut is an illustration titled "The Triple Tree at Tyburn." It depicts an execution scene at the notoriously grim Tyburn gallows in London, a site famous for mass hangings between the 16th and 17th centuries.
No. 7 The historical illustration depicts the Battle of Teramundt (Dendermonde). The work is part of the Der Weisskunig ("The White King") series, a romanticized and illustrated biography of Emperor Maximilian I of the House of Habsburg. The image shows an army besieging a fortified city with the aid of artillery (cannons visible in the foreground to the left) and infantry armed with pikes. On the right, a figure of a commander in armor stands out, typical of depictions of the "White King."
