"The new technique gave Blake full creative freedom and full control of production. Suddenly, he could combine text and image on a single page, in a single process.."
"since they are both created with the same brush and ink, adding an image to a haiku poem was ... a natural activity." - Stephen Addis
For some reason, I misunderstood that the image came first and then the haiku.
Interesting that Woodblock printing in Japan was first used for books and then pictures according to The shortest history of Japan.
script transcends the image and text classification. Calligraphy is the back and forth between them.
I saw the painsmaking typesetting that needs to be done in a Gutenberg press documentary.
