Thank you Adam, "...the image is a word (as well as a picture) and the words around it are pictures (as well as words)" is so insightful. I saw this recently in the Blake exhibition at the Fitzwilliam and the sense of the etching being done by hand -- carved out with indentations to the paper through the process is palpable.
It's a great art work with a thoughtful parsing. Very welcome in my day.

Thanks Dell. I've never seen the actual work, in the flesh, though (I kick myself now) I lived pretty much opposite the Fitzwilliam for over a year.
