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).
