History / Bio: William Blake (1757–1827) is regarded as one of the most influential visionary poets and artists of the Romantic era. “Jerusalem” is among Blake’s most ambitious illuminated works, combining poetry, mythology, prophecy, and visual art into a unified symbolic narrative. Original illuminated copies are among the rarest and most valuable works in English literary history. The Trianon Press facsimiles produced for the William Blake Trust during the mid-20th century are highly respected among collectors, scholars, and fine press enthusiasts because they attempted to replicate Blake’s original printing techniques, coloring, and paper quality with exceptional fidelity. Notable figures associated with the William Blake Trust shown in this edition include Geoffrey Keynes and Anthony Blunt.
