If he doesn't, I think I do.  I don't have the book in question, but I'm
looking at a public-domain engraving depicting two men in 17th century dress
on a beach at (one assumes) sunrise or sunset.  One lies, presumably dead,
his rapier on the ground beside him.  The other stands over him looking
down, facing the viewer.

If this is the piece and you need me to scan it, let me know.  I can take
care of it this afternoon.
