Lister 2. State VII of VIII. As published in 'Etchings of the Art Union of London by the Etching Club', 1857, pl.17. The source for this composition are the lines from Milton's 'L'Allegro' ... 'To hear the Lark begin his flight / And singing startle the dull night / From his watch-tower in the skies, / Till the dappled dawn doth rise …'.
