Break, Break, Break!

Cleveland Museum of Art

Sepia-toned oval drawing of a man sitting on a rocky outcropping. He wears a long coat over a suit and vest, with his right arm resting on his knee. His hair is dark and parted on the side. The background shows a body of water with waves crashing. Above the oval, the text reads "BREAK, BREAK, BREAK!". Below the oval, the text reads "WRITTEN BY ALFRED TENNYSON ESQ. POET LAUREATE" on the left and "COMPOSED BY JOHN BLOCKLEY" on the right. The bottom center contains additional text that reads "LONDON, CHAPPELL & CO. 50, NEW BOND ST".
