Varii, e veri ritratti della morte : disegnati in immagini, ed espressi in essempij al peccatore duro di cuore
A 1675 Venetian book of small woodcut-style emblems of death, produced by the publisher Giovanni Giacomo Hertz with text by Giovanni Battista Manni, aimed at hardened sinners. The pictures show skeletal death figures seizing the living, deathbed scenes, and flames of hell, all in compact framed panels with running numbers at the top, giving a designer a dense repertoire of memento mori staging and bold line-hatched shading.
