1959 · London
by Blake, William.
Folio. London: Trianon Press, 1959. Folio, 11 plates, 7 pp. text. Quarter orange morocco, marbled boards, slipcase, very fine. § Limited to 426 copies, of which this copy is unnumbered. One of the scarcer titles of the Press, especially in fine unfaded condition. “It is a continuation, though in thought only, of The Book of Thel. That represented the soul in the state of innocence; this the soul in the state of experience... It is primarily a protest against the sexual customs of the time.” (Damon, Blake Dictionary). Bentley, Blake Books, 216.
