"William Shakespeare; John Milton" is an engraving by the renowned British engraver Samuel Cousins, who lived from 1801 to 1887. Cousins was a prominent figure in the art of mezzotint engraving, a technique known for its ability to produce rich, tonal variations and intricate details. This particular work, created in the 19th century, features two of the most illustrious figures in English literature: William Shakespeare and John Milton.

William Shakespeare (1564–1616) is often hailed as the greatest playwright and poet in the English language. His extensive body of work includes timeless plays such as "Hamlet," "Othello," "King Lear," and "Macbeth," as well as a collection of 154 sonnets that have captivated readers for centuries. Shakespeare's influence on the English language and literature is immeasurable, with his works being translated into every major living language and performed more often than those of any other playwright.

John Milton (1608–1674), another towering figure in English literature, is best known for his epic poem "Paradise Lost," which explores the biblical story of the Fall of Man. Milton's work is celebrated for its complex themes, profound theological insights, and masterful use of blank verse. His contributions to literature extend beyond "Paradise Lost" to include notable works such as "Paradise Regained" and "Samson Agonistes."

Samuel Cousins' engraving brings together these two literary giants, capturing their likenesses with remarkable precision and artistry. The work is a testament to Cousins' skill and his ability to convey the gravitas and significance of his subjects. Through this engraving, Cousins not only pays homage to Shakespeare and Milton but also contributes to the visual legacy of these iconic writers, ensuring their visages are as enduring as their words.
