A 1925 facsimile plate published in Berwyn, Pennsylvania by A. Edward Newton, reproducing William Blake's frontispiece for his prophetic book Europe, a Prophecy, from a presentation copy in the Lessing J. Rosenwald collection. The picture shows a muscular, long-haired figure bending forward within a glowing sun-like disc, one arm extended down to a pointed compass-like tool over radiating rays against a smoky, cloudy ground.
