A major exhibition catalog on the work of William Blake (1757-1827), printmaker, painter and revolutionary poet of the prophetic books. The catalog explores the influence on Blake of the master artist-printmakers at the beginnings of the Renaissance, and the inspiration he brought to the young artist-printmakers who gathered around him in the last years of his life, including Samuel Palmer, George Richmond and Edward Calvert.
