To the eyes of the discerning it need not be pointed out; and while the taste for the arts of design shall continue to exist the original conception and the bold and masterly execution of this artist cannot be unnoticed or unadmired" advertisement p.viii. Blake originally intended the present work to be the first installment of a much larger illustrated edition of Young's best selling poem. He chose 43 images to engrave from the 537 drawings in watercolour he had made around pages of the first edition of Young's poem inlaid in album sheets. Perhaps baffled by the novelty of Blake's interpretations the public remained unreceptive and the book remains what is essentially a remarkable fragment: a tantalising hint of what might have been. A large copy. Bentley notes that "the paper was only marginally larger than the copperplate and even in untrimmed copies . parts of the platemark may not appear."

A loose sheet fore-edges untrimmed some still with deckle minimal trimming to top and bottom edges. Only five leaves in the book have engravings recto and verso. § First edition perfect for display or for teaching as the leaves are quite sturdy and can be carefully handled or matted for framing. Blake virtually in a frenzy completed 537 watercolor designs when he was commissioned to illustrate Young’s masterpiece. The publisher only issued the first four ‘Nights’and had Blake engrave and partially etch 43 plates to test the market. The response must have been poor since no further engravings were requested of Blake. Ironically today the poet Young once compared with Shakespeare and Milton is forgotten save for this edition.
