Visions of the Daughters of Albion - Where the Cold Miser Spreads His Gold
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print designed by William Blake in 1793 and completed around 1815. This intricate piece, measuring 22.2x17.1 cm, can be found at the Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge, UK. In this ethereal artwork, we are transported to a mystical realm where imagination knows no bounds. The central figure is Oothoon, a female character who represents innocence and vulnerability. She stands amidst billowing clouds that seem to carry her away from reality into an unknown world. As our gaze wanders across the composition, we notice a tiny fly buzzing above Oothoon's head—a symbol of fleeting freedom and escape from earthly constraints. Beyond her lies an expanse of turbulent sea surrounding an isolated island; perhaps it signifies isolation or longing for something beyond reach. Blake's mastery in relief etching with pen and watercolor on paper brings depth and texture to each element within this poetic scene. The delicate lines and vibrant colors evoke emotions that resonate with viewers even centuries later. The artist's use of symbolism invites us to contemplate themes such as desire, oppression, and liberation—themes that were prevalent during Blake's time but continue to hold relevance today. This print serves as a testament to Blake's genius as both poet and engraver—an everlasting reminder of his ability to transport us into realms where dreams intertwine with reality.
