Men Planting Trees
- Title
- Men Planting Trees
- Student Commentary:
- In this small decorative piece from Lavater’s Essays on Physiognomy, two bearded men are planting and watering trees. The man on the left appears to be placing a tree into the ground and the man on the right is watering one. On the ground there is a rake and shovel and the area on which they are planting trees appears to be partially surrounded by water. Blake would have received a commission to engrave this image from a design by someone else. Not available at the William Blake Archive. Consult the book in Schaffer Library for a detailed view of the image.
