About This Item
London: Richard Edwards (Oakland: Octavo), 1797; 2004. 1st edition. Other Binding. New/No Jacket (as issued). Digital facsimile (in electronic PDF format on CD-ROM disc) of two hand-colored copies of Blake's celebrated edition of Young's Night Thoughts. Copies J and B from the Lessing J. Rosenwald collection at the U. S. Library of Congress present examples of the two different styles in which this work was colored by the artist and associates. Includes images of both copies in full at unprecedented resolution (may be magnified at up to 300% of original size), a full searchable transcription of the text, an introductory commentary by Nicolas Barker, bibliographical and provenance information, and a special comparison feature that allows side-by-side viewing of the engravings in each copy. "Blake fans will appreciate that the disc contains almost as many extras as there are on a movie DVD: an enlightening introduction by Nicolas Barker, a side-by-side comparison of the illustrations, a searchable transcription of the text."--Library Journal
