Epic Poetry

This illustration depicts Adam and Eve (Eve standing behind Adam and clutching his arm) standing in the Garden of Eden after the consumption of the apple from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, looking up towards the Heavens where a winged figure (presumably God) stands looking down upon them. The illustration was drawn by W. Hamilton, R.A., as indicated at the left bottom corner of the drawing and engraved by D. Newcomb, as indicated on the bottom right corner. The bottom of the illustration also contains a quote from Paradise Lost from Book two.
