Songs of Innocence: Little Boy Lost 1789 - 1825

"The Little Boy Lost" is a page from William Blake’s *Songs of Innocence*, a collection of poems and illustrations created between 1789 and 1825. The artwork depicts a young boy searching for his father in a moonlit forest. The boy's outstretched hand and forlorn expression evoke a sense of loneliness and vulnerability. The inscription below the image, a poem about a lost child, adds to the poignant imagery. Blake, renowned for his unique artistic vision, uses vivid colors and intricate details to convey a sense of childhood innocence and the fragility of life.
