From LinkedCulture

A human skull sits at the heart of a heraldic coat of arms, flanked by a noblewoman in a long gown and a bearded man leaning close behind her, his hand gripping a staff. Above them, a winged helmet rises with dense scrollwork, making mortality the centerpiece of courtly display. This 1861 albumen silver print by Bisson Frères reproduces Albrecht Dürer's engraving from around 1503, and it represents the nineteenth century's drive to bring rare masterworks of printmaking to wider audiences through photography.
