Death rises from the grave to be greeted by Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. The skeleton of Death is handed a plumed cap, sword and scales by three figures who point to a bound and blindfolded figure of Justice. Woodcut by Carl Friedrich Robert Berger 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.
