Hans Holbein The Younger

Painter and drawer born in Augsburg in 1497, who died in 1543. He is most famous for his woodcut alphabet produced in Basel between 1522 and 1526 entitled The Dance of Death. At the Psymon site, we can find several initial cap alphabets of his in GIF format: these include The Alphabet Of Children (1527-1532) and The Dance Of Death (or: Danse Macabre) of Hans Holbein the Younger (circa 1523).

Digital versions abound:
