Jerusalem the emanation of the giant albion, copy e, object 76 (bentley 76, erdman 76, keynes 76)
facing away from the viewer, with his legs spread and arms raised horizontally, a nude male with short, curly hair stands on a strip of grass at the foot of a large tree looking almost straight up at the body of a long-haired, bearded male, with loincloth, very bright halo, and crown (of thorns?), crucified on its branches. The arm positions of the two figures are similar. Nails or spikes are visible in the hands and feet of the crucified figure, whose eyes are closed and whose head rests on his right shoulder, suggesting that he may be dead. The two figures are identified on other impressions of this plate as albion (below) and jesus (above), but the names are variously obscured in different copies and invisible here. The tree, judging from its leaves and trunk, appears to be an oak, and its fruit is thus presumably acorns, but lit and colored in a way that makes them seem golden, and—especially on the right—so as to make them look more like apples, perhaps recollecting the fateful tree in eden. The scene is dark, as if at night; streaks of light in the sky and a lighted area above the horizon on the left suggest that the time is sunrise or sunset.
