Les simulachres & historiees faces de la mort, avtant elegammet pourtraictes, que artificiellement imaginées
A 1547 French edition of Holbein's Dance of Death woodcuts, published in Lyon by Soubz l'escu de Coloigne, with designs by Hans Holbein the Younger and cutting attributed to Hans Lützelburger. The pictures are small, densely hatched woodcut scenes in which skeletons confront people from every rank, from pope and emperor to peasant and child. A designer could take their compact framing, strong black-and-white contrast and use of skeletal figures as memento mori imagery.
