Title: Roger Bacon's Brazen Head, 1603 Illustration

Caption: A woodblock engraving of Miles playing the tambour while friars Roger Bacon and Bungay sleep and the Brazen Head speaks, saying, "Time Is. Time Was. Time Is Past." From The Honorable Historie of Frier Bacon, and Frier Bongay, an Elizabethan era stage comedy of the 1580s, written by Robert Greene. Roger Bacon (c. 1219/20 - c. 1292) was a medieval English philosopher and Franciscan friar who was known for championing empiricism. In the early modern era, he was regarded as a wizard and particularly famed for the story of his mechanical or necromantic brazen head. Colorized.
