The Argument: Visions of the Daughters of Albion
- Title
- The Argument: Visions of the Daughters of Albion
- Student Commentary:
- In this illustration at the start of Visions of the Daughters of Albion (1959 facsimile), a woman with her hair tied back kneels on the ground with her hands covering her breasts. She appears to kiss the forehead of a cherub or child. The child’s arms are outstretched in a joyful pose. The only landscape is a small patch of earth that the woman kneels upon and a miniature dark plant in the lower left corner. Behind the woman is a radiant pink sky. The beams extend to the other corners of the plate. The whole effect represents Oothoon’s happy state and prospects before they are destroyed by Bromion.
