Deep Depression: Leadbeater’s Plate XVIII
Heavy curved grey bands veil an oval of yellow, blue, red and muted green. A faint human outline remains visible beneath the repeated dark divisions. Leadbeater identifies Plate XVIII with deep depression in his historical theosophical system. The plate expresses that interpretation through obstruction: colour remains present, but the bands prevent it from occupying a continuous open field.
