William Blake : production material, 1960.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/62373995

From a childhood steeped in Biblical lore, seeing visions so graphic he could descibe minute details, strongly influenced by the art of Westminster Abbey, Blake created an art drawn almost entirely from his imagination, for "Any fool can copy nature." Never wealthy, Blake enjoyed some appreciation during his life, which he shared with his devoted wife Kate. Twenty-one of Blake's drawings for the Book of Job are interpreted by the author, another artist. Manuscript materials include corrected typescripts and notes. Illustrative materials include a pencil illustration with one separaation for the jacket, a crayon & ink study for the jacket, crayon studies for the jacket, and a pastel study for the jacket.
