Item description from seller

Laminated illustrated wrappers, 4to, 37 pp, 22 plates (some in colour), 13 lots. The most important sale of Blake prints since Sotheby's dispersal of the W.A. White-Frances White Emerson collection (19 May 1958). The thirteen lots had been acquired by Rinder early in the twentieth century and had passed after his death in 1937 to his daughter, Esther Ramsay Harvey (1901-1993). A particular highlight was Rinder's copy of "Jerusalem" - the first complete copy to be sold by Blake, the last complete copy in private hands and the copy from which the Trianon press facsimile was made - which made £617,500. According to the saleroom report in The Book Collector: "The word is that a considerably higher private-treaty offer had been rejected prior to the sale," Annotated copy, priced, otherwise Very Good. List of prices realized laid in.
