Amidst the quiet solace of the graveyard, lies the final resting place of the strong, wicked man, as depicted in Robert Blair's poetic masterpiece, "The Grave." This hand-coloured etching, "The Death of the Strong Wicked Man," illustrates the chilling reality of death's door, where no power or wealth can offer respite. The design for the dedication to the Queen in 1807, and the frontispiece from the same poem, further emphasize the inescapable truth of mortality. The illustrations, "The Death of the Good Old Man," "The Reunion of the Soul and the Body," "The Meeting of a Family in Heaven," "The Soul Exploring the Recesses of the Grave," and "The Counsellor, King, Warrior, Mother & Child in the Tomb," all serve as poignant reminders of the universality of the human experience of death and the hope of an afterlife.
