Descriptio is a 1595 festival account by Johann Boch, printed in Antwerp to record the entry celebrations and games for Archduke Ernest of Austria, governor of the Habsburg Netherlands. The pictures are engraved designs of triumphal arches, with architectural orders, sculpted niches, heraldry and flags, a useful reference for ornamental gateway and monument layouts.
