"Restrike from fragment of cancelled plate for 'A Prophecy'" is an etching created by William Blake in 1793. This piece, likely a preliminary sketch for his larger work "A Prophecy," uses a dark background to highlight the text, a common motif in Blake's work. The image features lines of text, including names like "Gates, Franklin, Green" and "from Albions," that may refer to significant figures in Blake's own time. The etching’s design is characteristic of Blake’s style, which often blended religious themes and social commentary.
