Description:
|
Illustrations of the Book of Job, published 8th of March 1825 by William Blake, No.3 Fountain Court Strand. Single line engraving in black ink. Two seperate titles - one in Hebrew and the other in a manuscript style Gothic script - rest atop an undulating, scroll-like band of seven angel-figures. The organic unity of their overlapping winged bodies is somewhat fragmented from within, however, by the opposition of each individuals directed gaze.
