EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the combined title page from William Blake's iconic work, "Songs of Innocence and of Experience". Plate 2 of Bentley Copy L, created between 1789-94, is a stunning example of Blake's mastery in relief etching, pen, and watercolor on paper. Measuring at just 11.7x7 cm, this miniature artwork holds immense power. The image depicts two contrary states of the human scale with profound symbolism. The front cover features a nude female figure lying gracefully while a male figure cowers fearfully from engulfing flames. This juxtaposition evokes a sense of escape and vulnerability within the realm of romantic poetry that lies within the pages. Blake's illustrated book explores themes such as innocence and experience through his poetic verses accompanied by intricate illustrations. As an integral part of this collection, plate 2 serves as both an introduction to his thought-provoking work and a visual representation of its essence. Housed in the esteemed Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA, this print captures not only Blake's artistic brilliance but also his ability to convey complex emotions through imagery. With its rich historical significance and timeless beauty, it continues to inspire generations with its depth and intricacy.
