Death delivers a sword to the people. A skeleton in great coat and boots throws a sword engraved with Volks Justiz (people's justice) into a crowd. A worker in apron holds a flag with the slogan Republic. Woodcut by Gustav Richard Steinbrecker after an illustration by Alfred Rethel from Ein Todtentanz aus dem Jahr 1848, A Dance of Death for the Year 1848, Georg Wigand, Leipzig, 1849.
