Three volumes. 116 colour facsimile leaves reproduced by collotype and hand-stencil colour the text of the poems reproduced from copper-plate with 3 additional printings to reproduce Blake’s pencillings and the tone of the paper. Folio original morocco backed marbled boards in marbled paper covered slipcases. Slight fading with a couple of small marks to the spines otherwise very good.In this one of Blake’s most extravagant <em>tours de force</em> he took Gray’s poems as a springboard for epic watercolors. Mounting the text on a large sheet he painted all around the margins some of his most powerful and striking designs. The illustrations to a poem on the death of a favorite cat drowned in a goldfish bowl and the Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College for example are a classic example of his visionary powers transcending the prosaic. The Trianon Press reproductions are recognized as the finest examples of the art of facsimile reproduction; working from the originals in Paul Mellon’s collection each leaf is faithfully hand-coloured through stencils to achieve an astonishing exactitude. An extremely handsome work.Bentley <em>Blake Books </em>385. printed in Paris at the Trianon Press for the William Blake Trust hardcover
