The great English artist and poet William Blake produced unique, visionary works renowned for their imaginative power and intensity. Sixteen of his most famous images (from his illuminated poetry volumes) are here; among them are illustrations from Jerusalem, Europe: a Prophecy, Songs of Experience, and Songs of Innocence. About the Author: Painter, printer, and poet, William Blake (1757-1827) was a master at expressing great literature through his art. Perhaps the finest engraver in English history, Blake's illuminated books -- filled with sketches and watercolors that boggle the mind with their beauty and detail -- are as sought after today as they were over a hundred years ago.
