Pompa funebris is a 1623 Brussels funeral procession book by Jacques Francquart and Erycius Puteanus, engraved by Cornelis Galle, commemorating Archduke Albert of Austria for court and mourning readers. Its plates show ranks of mourners in long cloaks and ruffs, lined up in order of precedence with inscribed captions naming each office, a clear model for orderly crowd layouts and labelled rows.
