The most celebrated work of a 16th-century woodcut master, these 41 illustrations are a stark reminder of a dramatic motif: "Remember, you will die." A meticulous reprint of the unabridged 1538 edition, this book includes a prefatory letter by Jean de Vauzele plus various quotations, depictions, and meditations on death.
The computer-generated cover art for the album was provided by David Patchett, but he asked to be removed from the credits because he was not satisfied with the result. The version used was actually a prototype provided by Patchett, but the band decided to use it in its incomplete form. Upon close inspection, one can note several anomalies: The character on the far right looking out of the picture appears to have a broken neck. The white dog is standing on the snake underneath it. The baby's foot is cutting into the dog and appears more to be suspended in mid-air than sitting on a wolf. The small child character at the front on the left is standing on the other characters foot. The character doing a back-flip on the left of Eddie has a dislocated shoulder, his left hand is also against his right arm instead of on the floor and the back-flipping character's right leg is dislocated.
