The Pastorals of Virgil, wood engraving by William Blake
A wood engraving in four horizontal panels, printed on pale paper: a crescent moon over a gnarled tree at top, a figure with raised arms beside a cottage, a thatched cottage beside a winding stream, and a small figure by a signpost above an inscribed stone. The fine hatching gives the rural scenes a dense, dreamlike texture.
