Notes Bentley: "[Gilchrist's 'Life'] not only multiplied the prices of his works, but it encouraged the publication of facsimiles. Of these, the most ambitious, and the most conspicously successful, were those…produced at The Blake Press at Edmonton by William Muir and his family and friends. Twelve works in Illuminated printing were issued between 1884 and 1890, printed and coloured by hand at great trouble and with considerable success. These works have, on occasion, been accidently sold as originals. The size of the edition was small, but their influence was appreciable, and their scope has only been equalled in recent times by the facsimiles of the Blake Trust." This Visions of the Daughters of Albion facsimile for which Muir's original price was three guineas was made from Copy A (1793), the British Museum copy, and has 12 hand-colored plate. Both remarkable and rare. Keynes 217c; Bentley 249e Original printed wrappers. Saddle-stiched binding. Some external soiling and chipping to edges, internally fine.
