Songs of Experience: The Tyger 1794 - 1825

"The Tyger" is an illuminated page from William Blake's *Songs of Experience*, a collection of poetry and illustrations that explores the darker side of human experience. This particular page features a striking image of a tiger, rendered in vibrant watercolor and ink, accompanied by a poem that contemplates the creature's power and the nature of creation. The image's intensity and the poem's questioning tone contribute to the work's powerful and enduring impact. Blake's *Songs of Experience* is a significant work in the history of English literature and art, and "The Tyger" is one of its most well-known and studied illustrations.
