Nuno, and 33 figures, also of funeral inspiration, distributed over 27 engraved sheets, three of which are folding, one of double page, 12 with two per page and the remaining 17 of full page. It also includes several decorative vignettes and copperplate engraved letterhead initials. All engravings are signed by [François] Harrewijn (Ernesto Soares, p. 332).
