60. William Blake, “Earth’s Answer.” Relief etching, 11.7 x 7.2 cm., etched 1794, printed and finished in watercolors and pen and ink c. 1825. Songs of Innocence and of Experience copy Z, c. 1825. Library of Congress. Detail, showing misalignment of plate to paper and pen and ink over text. The text slants dramatically to the left, but the edges of the plate look more evenly aligned to the sheet because Blake has painted new edges on the impression to disguise the printed ones, as can be seen most clearly along the upper right margin and the top margin on the left.
