Psyche, and other poems — page 8: Penny Dreadfuls, 1812

What you’re looking at

This page features a portrait engraving of a woman in classical style, set within an oval frame. The subject has long dark hair and wears a draped white garment against a dark background. The caption beneath reads "Boyd Esq! from an Engraving of Carolina Matilda" and credits the engraving to "J. & A.Y. Humphreys Philadelphia." The image appears to be a frontispiece or illustrative plate rather than running text, typical of early American publication practices. The worn, aged appearance of the paper and the OCR errors suggest this is from an old printed source, though the specific penny dreadful context remains unclear from the visible text alone.
