Conscience and the Recording Angel

P. Jones after William Blake

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a title page for a music collection titled "The Seraph." The image features an ornate title design with detailed, decorative typography, and a depiction of an angelic figure on the right side. The angelic figure appears with elongated wings, wearing a long, flowing gown, and holding a book or tablet. Above the angel, a cloud-like form is visible. Below the title, a smaller inset illustration shows a reclining person partially draped, holding a chalice. The overall presentation combines elements of religious iconography with classical references typical of period engravings.
