Auctioneers claim that they saw the face of Father Henry Garnet, a priest who was executed for treason over the Gunpowder Plot in 1606, could be seen peering from the cover of this rare and macabre book. The book, called A True and Perfect Relation of the Whole Proceedings Against the Late Most Barbarous Traitors, Garnet, a Jesuit and his Confederates, was published in 1606 just after his execution. Some claim that the book was bound in the late priest’s skin. It is considered so unusual that there is no reserve price attached to it.
