Songs of Experience: A Little Boy Lost 1794 - 1825

"A Little Boy Lost" is an illuminated printing from William Blake's *Songs of Experience*. This etching, watercolor, and pen and ink work depicts a poem, and the accompanying visual is one of many in the series in which Blake illustrates his own writings. The small artwork, created in 1794-1825, is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, and is a prime example of Blake's unique and symbolic artistic style.
