- Student Commentary:
- The frontispiece to Visions of the Daughters of Albion (1959 facsimile) depicts a cave that overlooks a large green field. Within the cave are three human figures, all in chains. To the far right is a man with curly hair whose head is bowed so that his face is not visible. This male is likely Theotormon, the object of Oothoon’s desires. Oothoon herself appears to be fully naked and is chained to the arms of another nude figure. This older male figure is likely Bromion, Oothon’s rapist. Dark clouds in the background surround a setting sun as shadows encroach upon the three prisoners, all bound in their separate, psychological and physical ways.
