Title-Page of the Engraved Illustrations to the Book of Job is a 1825 ink by William Blake, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This image shows a book cover design with a border of Hebrew letters at the top. Below it, the words "Illustrations of The Book of Job" are written in fancy, uneven letters. Around the text, there are small drawings of winged figures—some look like angels—floating or sitting in the air. The year "1825" and the name "William Blake" are written under the title, showing this was made by him. The style is simple but detailed, with lots of lines to create shapes and shading. Next, look up engraving to see how artists carve images into metal plates.
William Blake (28 November 1757 – 12 August 1827) was an English poet, painter and printmaker.
