Engraving by L. Schiavonetti after Blake from José Joaquín de Mora's Meditaciones Poéticas (Londres : Lo publica R. Ackermann, 1826); the plate originally created to illustrate R.H. Cromek's edition of Robert Blair's "The grave" in 1808, in which it was titled "The Death of The Good Old Man".
Summary:
Print shows a bearded man lying on a matress; four mourners kneel praying at his head, three at his feet; in the foreground, a Bible is open at the title-page of the New Testament, held open by his right hand; in the background the man's soul is flying out the window on a cloud, escorted by two winged angels.
