"Among William Blake's graphic works are plates executed and originally published as individual works of art or as companion prints. These 'separate plates' are the subject of this book. Fifty-five etchings, engravings, and lithographs are fully described, including prints designed by Blake and those engraved by him after other artists. The result is a new perspective on Blake's achievement in the graphic arts, in part becasuse of Professor Essick's major redatings of some of the most important plates." -Jacket.
