This work has been described as Blake's critique not only of sexual oppression, but of slavery and colonialism as well. This is one of nineteen copies, of which only two—the present example and one in Munich—were color printed. When color printing, Blake appears to have used an ink that was more viscous than relief ink, thus creating a more intense, reticulated appearance.
