Andrés de Uztarroz, Juan Francisco, 1606-1653, Valles, José, Remon, Miguel · 1646 · En Çaragoça : En el Hospital R. iG. de nuestra Señora de Gracia · 4 pictures

A 1646 Spanish funeral book printed in Zaragoza at the Hospital de Nuestra Señora de Gracia, produced by Andrés de Uztarroz, José Valles and Miguel Remon to commemorate Prince Balthasar Carlos of Asturias for the city of Zaragoza. The four pictures are small woodcut ornaments and an engraved catafalque-style monument with statues, flags and winged figures in the clouds, plus a bookplate with a Corinthian capital; a designer could take from them the vocabulary of baroque scrollwork, mourning architecture and classical column detail.
