EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Death comes for the Drunkard" transports us to a bygone era where art served as a powerful medium to convey moral lessons. Engraved by Georg Scharffenberg and inspired by Hans Holbein the Younger's renowned woodcut series "Der Todten Tanz" this piece from 1843 captures the essence of danse macabre. In this scene, we witness a group of men reveling in an inn, their faces flushed with intoxication. The artist skillfully portrays their overindulgence through vivid details – one man vomiting while another drinks directly from a jug. Amidst this debauchery stands Death himself, personified as a skeleton draped in dark robes.

May it serve not only as an aesthetic delight but also inspire introspection about our
