Hans Holbein's Dance of Death (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781304614391)

Originally published in 1538 Hans Holbein's Dance of Death is a visual representation of the Dance Macabre morality plays that date back as early as the fourteenth century. The Dance of Death is a Memento Mori, a reminder meant to teach the truth that all men must die and that one should prepare themselves for their final judgment. Presented here are the 49 woodcuts with commentary as originally presented in Bohn's Illustrated Library: Holbein's Dance of Death (1858).
