About this work

A hand-colored relief etching from William Blake's Songs of Innocence and of Experience shows a long-bearded bard playing a harp before a group of young figures, with the poem The Voice of the Ancient Bard lettered across the blue and gold sky. The figures are rendered in soft washes of blue, pink, yellow and green, and a curling golden scroll frames the upper edge.
