A child feeds a small lamb from the palm of his hand in the foreground of this image from Songs of Innocence (1983 facsimile). The two are framed by thick vines that border the illustration on this plate. Behind them is a field filled with grazing sheep. To the right of the herd is a cottage with a thatched straw roof. Trees give the cottage shade from the sun. Vines surround the bulk of the text on this page, except for the title which appears above the vines in a larger font.
The coloring and impact of this image should be compared to that of other reproductions in the library’s collections, made by different hands or from different original copies. This image of The Lamb, for example, almost gives the impression of a rainbow. Each of the colors seamlessly blends together creating a colorful and thick border around the text. The text is printed in a brown ink that blends in with the trees and lambs.
