4. Alfred Rethel.

I only know two publications by him; one, the "Dance of Death," with

text by Reinick, published in Leipsic, but to be had now of any London

bookseller for the sum, I believe, of eighteen pence, and containing six

plates full of instructive character; the other, of two plates only,

"Death the Avenger," and "Death the Friend." These two are far superior

to the "Todtentanz," and, if you can get them, will be enough in

themselves to show all that Rethel can teach you. If you dislike ghastly

subjects, get "Death the Friend" only.
