Tombs and Funerary Monuments

Tombs and funerary monuments

This category documents sepulchres, mausoleums and funerary architecture, from Cardinal Tavera's tomb in Toledo to the Escorial's royal pantheon and Tam o' Shanter's grave in Kirkoswald, engraved between 1690 and 1861. Pieter van der Aa and John Goldar are the most frequent names, alongside topographical engravers who recorded English cathedral tombs and monuments abroad.

The prints interest genealogists, local historians and collectors of funerary art. Every engraving is an original period impression, accompanied by a technical description and exact measurements.
