Time and Death
All Resolutions
Time and Death their thoughts impart
On works of learning & of art.
(Facing p. 1.)
Description:
Hand-colored aquatint showing Time and Death, represented as an old man carrying a scythe and a skeleton holding an arrow and hourglass. They stand beside a man sitting at a table with a blank book open before him, seemingly waiting for inspiration to begin writing. A little farther ahead, an artist draws one of the many sculpted busts lining the room.
