Description
Part 1 has A2 and E2 signed, although each gathering consists of two leaves only.
Dedication signed: Geo: Chapman.
Printer's name from STC.
In two parts. Part 2, "The funerals of the high and mighty prince Henry, Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwaile and Rothsay, Count Palatine of Chester, Earle of Carick, and late Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter" has separate title page dated 1613, and separate register. It may have been issued separately (STC 13157), and is probably not by Chapman. Pforzheimer catalogue suggests John Taylor as possible author.
A1 and C2 each have a woodcut of Prince Henry's feathers, crown, and motto.
The engraved plate has title "The herse, and representation of our late highe and mighty Henry Prince of Wales, &ct:". It bears verses by Hugh Holland and George Chapman, and is signed "Guli: Holus sculp:" (i.e. William Hole). An early state lacks the signature.
Herse, and representacion of our late highe and mighty Henry Prince of Wales, &ct.

The author signs the dedication.
