Language: English. Approximately 142 pages. English : Print-on-demand reprint. Original edition : 1801. Illustrated work of woodcuts devoted to meditation on death and the frailty of human estates, with more than fifty vignettes showing death striking all social conditions. The volume belongs to the tradition of emblems and danse macabre, with a long historical preface and moral apostrophes accompanying each scene. Its bibliographical interest is enhanced by the attribution of the woodcuts to the Bewick brothers after Holbein, as well as by the erudite and pedagogical character of the whole. Book images are non-contractual. This item is printed on demand and ships from our printing partners' facility nearest the destination. These facilities are located mainly in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada.
