Fragment of cancelled plate for "A Prophecy" [recto]

This is a photograph of a copper printing plate. The plate displays reverse-engraved text with letters indented into the metal surface. The writing is in an elegant font and is surrounded by ornamental designs. A small illustration of a bird in flight is at the top left corner. The copper's patina gives the plate a brownish tone, contrasting with the polished surface and engraved lines.
