107739US: 1954. Large folio fine clear uniform impression on hand-made paper with no watermark inscribed in pencil by Lessing Rosenwald see below. § The best of Blake's illustrations of Dante often called the “Whirlwind of loversâ€. It depicts a scene from the fifth canto of The Inferno in which Dante guided by Virgil sees the sinful bodies of lovers "whom love bereav'd of life" trapped in a whirlwind rising to heaven.Incomplete at the time of his death in 1827 Blake’s illustrations for the Divine Comedy commissioned by John Linnell are some of his finest and most affecting inventions. From 102 illustrations ranging from pencil sketches to finished watercolors Blake made seven engravings also left incomplete. Though unfinished these prints are still reckoned amongst the most powerful and moving of Blake’s images and are especially impressive by virtue of their large size.This impression from the original plate was printed for Lessing Rosenwald in 1953/4 this impression is dated 6/14/1954. No number is given though Keynes Blake Studies suggested 20 sets plus three extra prints of plate 1; the later 1968 printing of restrikes for the Trianon Press edition was limited to 25 sets. Essick notes see below that “In 1953-55 Rosenwald had sets printed on heavy dead-white wove paper with a surprisingly bold pebble-grain surface. The plates had to be printed with considerable pressure in order to smooth the paper sufficiently to register fine lines. In a complete suite of these restrikes in the Huntington Library San Marino California each sheet measures 35.5 50.5 cm. and is inscribed in pencil lower right “Impression taken from the copper plate in my collection 1953-4.

This book is an homage to Blake & the dear youths who plied him with honour in his late age.
