The Guardian of the Light
An aged, robed figure stands on a rocky summit with a staff in one hand and a radiant lamp raised in the other. A smaller traveller reaches towards him from below. The lamp’s rays make the guardian the centre of Knapp’s illustration for Hall’s allegory The Guardian of the Light.
