Engraving of a bearded old man in loose drapery, barefoot on rocks by the sea, arms folded, cliff and bright sky behind him.

Joseph of Arimathea Among the Rocks of Albion

An engraved print of a bearded, gaunt old man in loose drapery stands barefoot on rocks beside a calm sea, his arms folded across his chest. A rough cliff rises behind him under a bright, cloud-streaked sky at left, and printed inscriptions frame the sheet at top right and along the bottom margin.
