A line engraving of Hildegard of Bingen by the English printmaker William Marshall, made as an illustration to Thomas Fuller's "The Holy State," published at Cambridge in 1642. She is shown as a bust facing front, in a monastic habit, reading from a book, with a caption naming her outright. Held today by the British Museum, with an independently catalogued copy at the Wellcome Collection.
