Auch ein Todtentanz: Title Page

Alfred Rethel

National Gallery of Art

This drawing features text on vintage paper. The text is written in a Gothic font style, predominantly in black ink. The title at the top reads, "Auch ein Todtentanz aus dem Jahre 1848," followed by credits attributing the work to Alfred Rethel and a text by N. Reinick. Additional details about the origin and printing specifics are included below in smaller font. The text is symmetrically laid out and accompanied by decorative elements. At the bottom, publication information is provided, including pricing details, location, and the publisher's name, "Leipzig, Georg Wigand’s Verlag." The background appears yellowed, suggesting an aged document with minor spots across the page for a vintage effect.
