Item description from seller

A smart collection of first edition studies on the works of William Blake and Thomas Gray, with illustrations. Three volumes. A collection of studies on the life and works of William Blake, an English poet, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his life, Blake has become a seminal figure in the history of the poetry and visual art of the Romantic Age. As well as the poetry of Thomas Gray, an English poet, letter-writer, and classical scholar at Cambridge University, widely known for his Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard. Blake famously illustrated Gray's poems, with these works considered a significant part of his artistic legacy, showcasing his unique visionary style. This collection contains: An Exhibition of the Illuminated Books of William Blake: Poet, Printer, Prophet, 1964. Illustrated with a colour frontispiece and fifteen colour plates. Collated complete. Arranged by the William Blake Trust, with commentaries from Lessing J. Rosenwald and Geoffrey Keynes. Poems by Mr. Gray, 1971.
