N/A. English: Original stipple engraving of 'The life of Milton: in three parts. To which are added, Conjectures on the origin of Paradise lost: with an appendix. By William Hayley, Esq.' By Hayley, William (1745-1820). Richard Earlom's original stipple engraving, Paradise Lost, Eve in the Garden of Eden is based upon a design created by Richard Westall. Such masterworks as Paradise Lost, Samson Agonistes and Comus place John Milton (British, 1608 - 1674) as England's greatest poet. Paradise Lost was first published in 1667. It is Milton's great epic poem, composed in twelve books. This original stipple engraving illustrates the Eighth Book. In the First Book Satan revolts and is driven from Heaven with his legions. He establishes his palace in Hell. In Book Two Satan and his angels debate as to whether to wage another battle against Heaven but instead decide to examine a newly created world (Eden) with its new creatures. God's greatest creations of first Adam and then Eve take place in the Garden of Eden several book's later. This brilliant stipple engraving illustrates the important lines of Book Eight when Adam and most particularly Eve begin to question God's unwillingness to let them acquire knowledge. Despite his questions, Adam has expressed his unswerving loyalty to God. John Milton then writes: to wage another battle against Heaven but instead decide to examine a newly created world (Eden) with its new creatures. God's greatest creations of first Adam and then Eve take place in the Garden of Eden several book's later. This brilliant stipple engraving created by Richard Earlom illustrates the opening lines of Book Five when Adam awakens the newly created Eve. Paradise Lost: Eve in the Garden of Eden: is an original 'First Edition Impression' dated 1795. It was engraved by Richard Earlom & designed created by the British artist, Richard Westall for John & Josiah Boydell's set entitled, 'The Poetical Works of John Milton'.
