Description: English poet, painter, and illustrator William Blake (1757-1827) is usually associated with the Romantic Age but is hard to put on any shelf.

Description: Embrace the allure of the tiger's untamed spirit and the poetic brilliance of Blake's words with this captivating black & white Tiger illustration featuring the first verse of William Blake's renowned poem, "The Tyger." This design beautifully captures the majestic creature, serving as a reminder of the eternal mysteries of nature and the duality that exists within it, with Blake's powerful poem adding depth and intrigue to the design. I have changed the original spelling of Blake's poem to say 'Tiger' instead of the original old English 'Tyger' to avoid everyone asking why it's spelled wrong! I hope Blake forgives me :) Also available with white text for darker colors.
