Shewing the Two Contrary States of the Human Soul (first published in 1794), an expansion of Blake's first illuminated book Songs of Innocence. The poems and artwork were reproduced by copperplate engraving and colored with washes by hand. Blake republished Songs of Innocence and Experience several times, often changing the number and order of the plates. The spellings, punctuation and capitalizations are those of the original Blake manuscripts. William Blake (1757 – 1827) was a British poet, painter, visionary mystic, and engraver, who illustrated and printed his own books. Blake proclaimed the supremacy of the imagination over the rationalism and materialism of the 18th-century. Largely unrecognised during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of both the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age.

In 1949 the William Blake Trust was founded to bring Blake's rare Illuminated Books to a wider general audience through the publication of superbly produced facsimiles. Recent advances in printing and reproduction technology now enable the Trust to fulfill its mandate. The originals have been newly and meticulously photographed and the best modern technology has been applied to ensure that the plates are reproduced as faithfully as possible. Blake's highly personal, cottage-industry methods of book- production have had to wait two centuries for printing and photographic technology ... to bring his books within reach of ordinary readers.... And, physically, they are a delight. Here at last, one feels, is an edition of Blake as he should be seen. Blake ... is heading for the new millennium in exuberantly good form. DLThe Times Literary Supplement Blake published these works himself, but his ambition to reach a wide audience was never realized.... Produced with meticulous care, each has a brief introduction. Each volume also contains exquisite reproductions of the original plates, a new transcription of Blake's text and scholarly but accessible plate-by-plate commentaries. DLThe New York Times Book Review One of the essential publishing projects of the decade.... Blake interpretation is its own universe of scholarship, but someone who reads only the Princeton series of Blake books will come away very well informed. DLThe San Francisco Chronicle Sumptuous facsimiles.... gloriously colored pages. It [isn't] the real thing, but [it's] as near as most of us will ever come: like peeping into a furnace of light through a crack in the door. DLThe London Review of Books The greatest pleasure by far is the color reproduction itself.... One of the most beautiful and finely finished copies we have. DLBlake Illustrated Quarterly Absolutely gorgeous and a bargain, with voluptuously generous commentary. DLStudies in English Literature Available as a six-volume boxed set:

"The nature of William Blake's genius and of his art is most completely expressed in his Illuminated Books. In order to give full and free expression to his vision Blake invented a method of printing that enabled him to created works in which words and images combine to form pages uniquely rich in content and beautiful in form. It is only through the pages as originally conceived and published by the poet himself that Blake's meaning can be fully experienced."--Publisher's description.
