Illustrations of designs for triumphal arches, with emblematic motifs. First edition. The designs refer to the sieges of Lepanto in 1572 by Juan of Austria (Hollstein). Manfred Sellink, in the New Hollstein, rejects the attribution of the engraving to Galle himself, preferring to call it within his workshop.
