Edition Notes

Unique copy. Songs of experience only.

Wholly engraved.

Includes combined title-page (undated) and t.p. for Songs of experience (dated 1794).

Plates produced through Blake's own process of relief etching. Date of printing taken from The William Blake archive. This copy was probably bought from Blake by John Flaxman in 1795, and given to Flaxman's wife Ann, who inscribed the t.p. "A. Flaxman". It was inherited, along with Ann Flaxman's uncolored copy of Songs of innocence, by Ann Flaxman's sister, Maria Denham. Lent by Maria Denham to John Ruskin, whose letter of thanks accompanies the copy. Disbound, perhaps for the 1891 Boston exhibition. Formerly sewn in blue grey wrappers, one of which remains. For complete provenance, see Keynes & Wolf, Bentley.

Printed in brown ink; colored; penned numbers, in black ink.
