About The Poster: This Italian engraving from the private collection of Gino Sabattini depicts lovers and Death with scythe and hourglass on the bed. On a slab on the ground we read the motto 'Cras Moriemur Gaudeamus Igitur' (We shall die tomorrow, so let us rejoice Today), a warning to the futility of time and to enjoy it in every moment.
About Ex Libris: An Ex Libris, also known as a bookplate, is a printed or decorative label pasted into a book, often on the front endpaper, to indicate ownership. Bookplates often bear a motif relating to the book's owner, such as a coat-of-arms, crest, badge, motto, or a design commissioned from an artist or designer. (Source: Wikipedia)
