ABOUT THIS BOOK:
The detailed entries offer much new information on states, media, hand coloring, color printing, paper, geniesis and iconography of the designs, and the provenances of individual impressions (many not previously recorded). The concluding sections of the catalogue cover plates designed by Blake, but never executed, book illustrations issued as separate prints or known only through separate impressions, and lost, conjectural, and misattributed plates.(Publisher).
