Enclosed in a modern protective box. § Presentation copy inscribed by Thornton to his daughter. A very fine copy of a scarce work in any condition as it was issued for use in schools; the impressions of the woodcuts in this copy are the richest I have ever seen. Blake contributed 17 woodcuts to this volume as well as 10 other plates of which he engraved six which were not well received; nor were they well treated by the publisher who cut down the blocks and printed them poorly. Only a few proofs before they were trimmed are now extant. These blocks have remained amongst the most influential woodcuts in the history of British art and their influence can be seen from Calvert and Palmer all the way up to the present day. The blocks were saved by Linnell and were printed not long after Blake's death as separate impressions perhaps by Calvert and again in 1977 as a set by Iain Bain. Any impressions are now very hard to find. For a full discussion of this wonderful book see Essick's masterly monograph A Troubled Paradise. San Francisco: John Windle 1999. Bentley Blake Books 504.
