Student Commentary:
The title page of The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1960 facsimile) prominently features the title as part of the artwork. The words are made up of trees, and beneath their branches walk several small human figures. Towards the bottom of the page, plumes of smoke and fire emerge from the centermost layer of the earth. Amidst the natural violence, two lovers embrace in the middle of the page. One emerges from the flames, while the other is surrounded by dusty clouds, perhaps providing a visual representation of the union between the realms of Heaven and Hell.
