Description:

In the fifth plate of Rethel’s Dance of Death, Death stands with a flag on a barricade, biting the collar of his coat in a strange grin. The ranks of the insurgents, who fight with cobblestones and guns against an army which fires with cannons, are being decimated.

The title reads in the original German: Der Tod auf der Barrikade.

This series of plates was engraved under the supervision of Hugo Bürkner.
