Kale James curates a visual archive devoted to death, mortality, and macabre symbolism. The collection presents 166 seventeenth- and eighteenth-century etchings and engravings featuring skeletons, death masks, ghosts, corpses, the Grim Reaper, and related memento mori imagery. Created as a reference for artists and designers, the volume brings historical source material together for study, inspiration, and creative reuse. The images also reveal how earlier printmakers represented the mystery, fear, ritual, and inevitability surrounding death.
