This is a restrike from a cancelled plate for William Blake's "A Prophecy," created in 1793. The image depicts a faint outline of a figure in the upper right corner, likely a depiction of the Angel of Prophecy. Below the figure is a text that reads: "From his right hand/A Tremendous Shine,/Who, in Silent night." This fragment of a plate shows the intricacy of Blake's creative process, showcasing a cancelled plate for his illustrated book "A Prophecy." Blake's use of delicate line work and text in this restrike showcases his mastery of engraving and his use of the visual arts to communicate complex theological ideas.
