About This Item
London: William Blake (Oakland: Octavo), 1794; 1826; 2003. 1st edition. Other Binding. New/No Jacket (as issued). Digital facsimile (in electronic PDF format on CD-ROM disc; not a printed book) of two magnificently hand-painted copies of Blake's most famous illuminated book. Copies C (1794) and Z (1826) from the Lessing J. Rosenwald Collection at the U. S. Library of Congress present two radically distinct approaches by the artist, from early and late in his career. This disc includes images of both books, cover-to-cover in high resolution (may be magnified at up to 300% of original size), searchable transcriptions of the text, an introductory commentary, bibliographical information, an account of each copy's provenance, and a special plate-by-plate comparison feature that allows close contrast of Blake's early and late technique. Unsold original stock, minor storage wear.
