There is an engraving of this by George Cruickshank (I think) based on a
British Library ms illustration in William Hone's _Apocryphal New
Testament_ (or it might be his _Ancient Mysteries Described_ -- I have
neither book at hand, I regret). If memory serves, the illustration
relates to the Harrowing of Hell (Gospel of Nicodemus). A good library
would have both works.
