Auch ein Todtentanz: Text Page

Alfred Rethel

National Gallery of Art

This is a photograph of a printed poem. The poem is presented on an off-white page with two distinct blocks of text written in a decorative, serifed typeface. The text is aligned to form two columns, with the first column on the left side of the page and the second column on the right. Each line begins with a capital letter, and some words are emphasized with italics. The surface of the page shows subtle signs of age, such as small spots and slight discoloration. The overall aesthetic of the document is one of literary significance and formality.
