1839réf. 18535London: William Pickering 1839. First letterpress edition of Blake’s best-loved works which had been available previously only in the poet’s privately printed and unobtainable hand-painted and engraved editions. Edited with a lengthy 18-page preface by the Swedenborgian James John Garth Wilkinson 1812-1899 who used Charles Augustus Tulk’s copy of the illuminated first edition c.1795-1807 to make his selection. This edition appears in two issues with and without a poem entitled “The Little Vagabond” at page 71. The poem was reportedly canceled by the editor out of prudishness. It is not present in this copy. No priority between the two issues has been established.

Cornell Walbridge a major figure in the glass industry in Toledo Ohio aka “Glass City” and an avid book collector in the early years of the Twentieth Century.
