William Blake (1757-1827) was one of the greatest engravers in English history.
This volume reproduces two of Blake's visionary masterpieces. America : A Prophecy (1793-94) was inspired by the American Revolution, which Blake endowed with symbolic and universal meaning.
Europe : A Prophecy (1794) depicts how man first became subject to the laws of repressive religion and morality.
