After writing the latest post, I was tempted to pull my Blake off the shelf and start reading. Instead of his poetry book (an old, ratty, over-annotated copy), I instead came across Blake’s fully illustrated Jerusalem: The Emanation of the Giant Albion,
and for the last hour I’ve been lost in his art. Its been years since I really stop and take a look at his illustrations, and my god are they stunning, disquieting, evocative, and provocative. I’ve posted a few of my favorites to share with you, and you can always go here or here for more. Enjoy.






I am still madly in love with Peter Ackroyd’s book.
You and me both.
I’ve always loved Blake’s art, especially his watercolor! Thanks for sharing!
Same here. I remember coming across it for the first time when I was in high school. I had to write a paper on Blake’s “Songs of Innocence and Experience,” and I came across a book of his artwork at the university library. I was instantly captivated, and have continued to be over the years.
