Two of five scenes with a skeleton: a skeleton conducting an auction, with an angel of the Last Judgment recording the bids; a skeleton-priest giving the last rites. Drawings attributed to H.K. Browne [Phiz]. The other three drawings are on the reverse: a skeleton poisoning the cup of lovers; a skeleton with a fainting woman; and a skeleton being dismissed by Christ.
