Beautifully printed and gorgeously illustrated at the Chiswick Press, this work is one of the most desirable of the Grolier Club’s many fine books. Bentley, Blake Books, 617: “still of very great importance for independent judgements.” See also Breslauer and Folter 150. This copy belonged to A. Edward Newton, who had pasted in a receipt from Blake to Butts for a copy of the Songs. That receipt has since been removed. Joseph Holland bought this book at the Newton sale, marked in pencil all the items he owned, and inserted facsimile prints of the “Little Tom” and “Cumberland card” images.
