This is a pretty damn exciting find! Eric Wiggins discovered an illustration depicting the hanging of 16th cent martial arts enthusiast and fechtbuch collector Paul Hektor Mair and Ben Floyd tracked down a colour version of it. The story behind this is well-known to many, but until now there has been no known illustration of neither Mair nor the execution. And here it is, in all its glory. Thanks Eric and Ben!

That is bloody sad there 🙁
Reading the article from my phone, but do I see it correct that his name’s spelled. Meyere
Actually, it was Dustin Regan who found the original image. I misattributed it in my original post. Sorry.
Ah, my apologies to Dustin then! Thanks for the correction!
