Edition Notes
"This edition has been produced in the same laborious way as Blake produced his, viz., the designs have been bitten out of metal plates by acid, printed in a press with the same tints as Blake used, and (in the case of the coloured copies) painted by hand with water-colours and gold which are as nearly like those of the original as a clever and devoted copyist could make them. The colouring and gilding have been done by Mr. Samuel Hurd [after copy T] ... in the British Museum."--Publisher's note.
"This edition is limited to 151 copies, of which the first 51 copies are coloured and gilded, numbered and signed."
