About this Item

Trianon Press: 1962. 2 vols, oblong 8vo, text volume (2), 48, (2, colophon) pages, facsimile volume to match. Original full brown morocco for reproduction volume, beige cloth for introduction and commentary, backstrips a little scuffed and stained, internally fine. � Limited to 586 copies, of which the first 50 are in a special binding. The present copy is number 50. The superb facsimile of Palmer s fascinating sketch-book from 1824, the year in which he first made William Blake's acquaintance. The sketch-book contains the first surviving drawings of Palmer's "visionary years" and the packed pages clearly show Blake's influence and the richness of the young Palmer's unfettered imagination. The artist's son, A.H. Palmer, later destroyed more than twenty similar sketch-books, perhaps on account of that unfettered imagination, making this surviving volume especially important.
