Coloured Print of a semi-rude Figure, seated beneath a Tree, with Head bowed down, and nude Female Figure on the left, with arms outstretched to a Cherub, fo. (63 in. by 43) £42 H. Jan. 14 *This fine plate is of peculiar interest in connection with the foregoing (America), as being presumably a cancel-possibly for Plate 14, to which it bears certain resemblances both in text and design. The text, which is faintly discernible under the colouring on the upper half of the plate and can be read only from the back, is as follows: 64 As when a dream of Thiralatha flies the midnight hour: And so the Princes fade from earth, scarce seen by souls of men, An example of this Plate-which was apparently unpublished-is to be found in a volume in the British Museum lettered "Designs by William Blake," but the colouring is inferior and the text is illigeble.
