Danse Macabre
by Hans Holbein the Younger
- Used
- Hardcover
- first
Rare Book in VG+ condition. 1935 printing of Danse Macabre. So much to like about this book. The hard cover has an embossed image of a skeleton playing a drum. Previous owners' signatures. One a Christmas gift inscription from 1939 (I find that someone gave this book as a Christmas gift quite interesting). Subsequent owner glued his bookplate over that inscription, but the glue has since failed and the bookplate is now loose. This book also has deckle edges and uncut top pages.
