Title

Frontispiece: Laocoon (1976)

Student Commentary:

This frontispiece is included with the Trianon Press Laocoon volume (1976 facsimile). It is described as “an enigmatic self-portrait” of Blake himself, “whose last testament is studied in this book. On his head is a Menorah, the ancient symbol of the Tree of Life and of spiritual insight.” Not available at the William Blake Archive. Consult the book in Schaffer Library for a detailed view of the image.
