Death holding scales in front of a crowd at a tavern. A skeleton in plumed cap, cape and boots, weighs a crown against a tobacco pipe. A poster on the wall reads Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. Woodcut by Oskar Friedrich Schmidt 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.
