National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa
Date: 1824-1825
Technique: Mezzotint on laid paper, 25.4 x 35.8 cm
The image is of Adam and Eve greeting dawn:
Of Paradise and Eden's happy plains,
Lowly they bowed adoring, and began
Their orisons, each morning duly said
In various style; for neither various style
Nor holy raputre wanted they to priase
Their Maker
