An etching and engraving titled "Archbishop Cranmer," made by an anonymous British printmaker of the 17th to 18th century after a lost original portrait by Gerlach Flicke. Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury and principal author of the Book of Common Prayer, is shown in three quarter view holding a book, the print's own title naming him outright by his office. Held today by the Metropolitan Museum of Art under accession 17.3.756-1134. The museum's own record carries rights-restricted image metadata rather than public domain status; no image is reproduced here.
