No Binding. Condition: Very Good. R. Dagley (illustrator). Rare engravings of great force of satire and caricature, based on Holbein's Dance of Death. Shows brilliant wit and connects sport, professions and character to the 'great leveller' death. Imaginative - etched by R. Dagley, published in 1826. Uncoloured - very good condition. Mounted/matted and ready to frame. Unusual, detailed and somewhat macabre print showing Death dancing attendance on a group of drinkers as they toast each other - or possibly Death himself.
