The dance of death: Death, seen riding his horse, leaves the city as the hero who equalised those who followed him blindly. Woodcut by Gaber after Alfred Rethel, 1848.
Lettering: Der sie geführt -es war der Tod! Er hat gehalten, was er bot. Die ihm gefolgt, sie liegen bleich als Brüder alle, frei und gleich. -Seht hin die Maske that er fort; als Sieger, hoch zu Rosse dort, zieht, der Verwesung Hohn im Blick, der Held der rothen Republik.
