"Through aphoristic declarations and accompanying emblem-like designs, Blake argues for the essential unity of all religions as expressions of the "Poetic Genius" within all human beings." (The William Blake Archive). Blake first etched the work in c. 1788, returned to it in 1795, and again in 1818. In this edition, the plates were reproduced by the Trianon Press (France) using the collotype process, with some water-color washes added by hand. The editorial matter was printed by the Imprimerie Darantiere, Dijon, and binding was by Engel, Malakoff, and the hand-made slip-case by Adine, Paris. With a description and bibliographical history by Blake scholar Geoffrey Keynes. Fine (Item #6442)
