This beautiful facsimile edition of Hans Holbein's famous Dance of Death woodcuts provides a stunning visual journey through the medieval allegory of mortality. Originally published in 1538, the series of engravings depicts a range of characters, from pope to plowman, all facing death and depicted as skeletons. The facsimile includes also Holbein's Bible cuts, which showcase the artist's exceptional skill and creativity in woodcut design. The edition is introduced by renowned bibliophile Thomas Frognall Dibdin and includes insights into the history and significance of the works.
