Imagines Mortis (Images of Death)
This print appears to be a title page from a book published in 1545. The top of the page reads "IMAGINES MORTIS" in large, bold letters. Below that are several smaller lines of text in Latin. Below the text, there is an intricate emblem featuring a design with the text "M??URA" beneath it and the shapes of a crab and a moth. At the bottom are two more lines of text. The paper is beige, and seems to be thin, as other lines of text are faintly visible through it.
