EDITORS COMMENTS
. This poignant print captures William Blake's "Infant Sorrow" a powerful plate from his renowned collection, Songs of Innocence and of Experience. The artwork portrays the harsh reality faced by children during the Romantic era, highlighting themes of oppression, child labor, and societal injustices. In this evocative scene, a young mother cradles her crying baby in a humble cot or basket. The artist's delicate use of relief etching with pen and watercolor brings depth to every stroke, emphasizing the raw emotions depicted on their faces.

The image serves as a haunting reminder that even at such tender ages, individuals are not shielded from suffering.

Displayed at Yale Center for British Art as part of Paul Mellon Collection, this remarkable piece continues to resonate with viewers today.

As we gaze upon this heart-wrenching portrayal captured within these 11.1x7 cm dimensions, let it serve as a catalyst for compassion and empathy towards those who suffer silently amidst oppressive circumstances – reminding us that every child deserves love
