This is a drawing of a decorative book cover. It features intricate line work depicting a scene with two figures reclining within a large stylized flower, surrounded by foliage and stars. The flower has large petals that cradle the figures, who appear crowned and are lying with tranquility. Above them are two hanging bell-shaped flowers against a star-filled night sky. The title "Life and Works of Wm Blake" is inscribed at the top in flowing, ornate letters. The design uses a limited color palette.
