William Blake 
Blake’s Water-Colours for the Poems of Thomas Gray 
With Complete Texts

At the dawn of the 19th century, Blake created this imaginative series of 116 watercolors to illustrate 13 poems by Thomas Gray. Including such popular poems as ’Elegy in a Country Churchyard’ and ’Ode on the Death of a Favourite Cat, ’ these rarely exhibited treasures remained exclusively in the hands of collectors for close to 175 years. This is the first inexpensive, full-color reproduction, with the complete text of the poems.
