There is no natural religion.
William Blake's c.1790 London relief-etched aphorism book, There is no natural religion, issued by the artist himself and held in the Lessing J. Rosenwald Collection of the Library of Congress. The pages pair short handwritten maxims on reason, perception and faith with small hand-coloured vignettes, aimed at readers of radical and dissenting thought. The pictures show loose, watercolour-washed figures in pale landscapes with a scrawled, organic line that suggests how text and image can share one page for a designer working on hand-lettered or illustrated layouts.
