Sepia print of a street revolt: a tall man in a long coat points forward, a flag waves, figures lie on the ground, and German verse captions run along the bottom.

Nieuwe Dodendans

A crowded street revolt in sepia tones: a tall figure in a long coat and wide hat strides forward with an arm extended, while a man waves a flag marked with partial letters. Figures sprawl across the foreground as a crowd surges behind, beneath a row of German verse captions.
