The photo shows a procession of the College of Catalayud in the 19th century. The tiny figures at the very front of the procession are monks wearing red bonetes. The candle-bearers (probably deacons?) are wearing red dalmatics and red bonetes, while all the rest are wearing black bonetes, even the Prior at the rear of the procession. No tufts to be seen, unfortunately.
