Set of 20 plates from an original series of funerary monuments by Hans Vredeman de Vries consisting of a title page and 26 plates. The prints were acquired as part of a portfolio containing drawings and prints recording designs for funerary monuments and altars. While part of the drawings are sewn together in a quire, the group as a whole seems to have been compiled at a later date.
