"The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" Albatross Illustration

This is an illustration of the line "With my cross-bow/ I shot the Albatross" from "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner." The work was done in black and white and the background depicts an icy, rock-strewn ocean. An albatross is flying above a mast and an arrow is right in front of it, seconds away from plunging into its chest.
