About The Poster: This Italian engraving from the private collection of Gino Sabattini represent a naked female figure falling into a phantasmagoric void, populated by ghostly skulls. The girl's hands, firmly attached to Death's neck, drag the macabre figure to his fall.

About Ex Libris: An Ex Libris, also known as a bookplate, is a printed or decorative label pasted into a book, often on the front endpaper, to indicate ownership. Bookplates often bear a motif relating to the book's owner, such as a coat-of-arms, crest, badge, motto, or a design commissioned from an artist or designer. (Source: Wikipedia)
