Colinet's Journey: Milestone Marked 'LXII Miles to London', from Thornton's "Pastorals of Virgil" 1821

This 1821 black and white woodcut by William Blake, titled *Colinet's Journey: Milestone Marked 'LXII Miles to London'*, depicts a solitary figure walking across a desolate landscape. The image is part of a larger series that illustrates *Pastorals of Virgil*, and is known for its stark simplicity and powerful sense of isolation. The lone figure is dwarfed by the surrounding hills, emphasizing their journey's vastness and the remoteness of the English countryside. Blake's characteristically strong lines and dramatic chiaroscuro create a sense of depth and atmosphere, bringing the viewer into the world of the artwork.
