The Oak in Penshurst Park. Under which Sir Philip Sydney is said to have composed his Arcadia.
WB del Nov. 16th 1809.
Aquatint with engraving. 325 x 255mm (12¾ x 10"), with large margins top and bottom. Trimmed to plate at sides.
A blasted oak with a door-size entrance into its trunk, cows grazing. Underneath is a ten-line verse praising the oak, signed 'F.D.C'. In 1977 Blackwell’s Antiquarian Department suggested that the artist was William Blake; an article in 'Blake: An Illustrated Quarterly' (1979) discusses the possibility and discounts it on stylistic grounds, although suggests the author of the verse was Frances Dorothy Cartwright (1780-1863).

The Royal Allied Oak and Self Created Mushroom Race. Behold the Oak, whose firm fix'd stay / Doth check Oppression's course, / Whose slightest branch can ne'er decay, / While strong with Virtue's force / [...]The Mushroom Race you have to seek In weeds about the Root, Who scarce dare at the Oak to peep, Or at its Princely Fruit.
J. Field del.t. Etch'd by Heath.

On the ground are two mushrooms and plants, in which are hidden the profiles of Napoleon Bonaparte; his son Napoleon (King of Rome) and brothers Louis, Jerome and Joseph; Charles XIV John of Sweden; and Joachim Murat.
