Edition Notes
Unique copy. Songs of innocence only.
Wholly engraved.
Includes combined t.p. (undated) and t.p. for Songs on innocence (dated 1789).
Plates produced through Blake's own process of relief etching in 1789. Approximate date of printing taken from The William Blake archive. This copy bought by John Flaxman in July 1814 and given to his wife, Ann Flaxman, who inscribed the t.p. "Mrs. Flaxman April 1817". It was inherited, along with Ann Flaxman's copy of Songs of experience, by Ann Flaxman's sister, Maria Denham. Disbound, perhaps for the 1891 exhibition. For complete provenance, see Bentley (p. 418-419).
No watermarks; printed in brown ink; uncolored; penned numbers
