Illustrations of the Book of Job,
Illustrations of the Book of Job is a set of engraved plates by William Blake, published in London in 1826 for a general audience of readers and collectors of illustrated scripture. Each plate pairs a central framed scene with a verse of Job set in lettering above or below it. The pictures show dense, hatched linework with figures in dramatic poses, and a designer might take from them the interplay of ornate border framing and central image, along with the expressive use of crowded, flowing figures.
