    Leather over Boards, Slipcased. Condizione: Fine. First Edition #61/250 Deluxe. 148pp + np, profusely illustrated in collotype. Published in 1987 by the William Blake Trust, this lavish two volume undertaking is devoted solely to William Blake's "Illustrations of the Book of Job". The first volume combines a facsimile reprint in collotype of the 1826 first edition as well as additional plates reproducing scores of variant illustrations related to Blake's spectacular work. It includes "an introduction and plate-by-plate commentary by Bo Lindberg". The second volume is subtitled "The Engravings and Related Material, with Essays, Catalogue of States and Printings, Commentary on the Plates, and Documentary Record by David Bindman, Barbara Bryant, Robert Essick, Geoffrey Keynes, and Bo Lindberg. Edited by David Bindman". In addition, it contains an introduction by Charles Ryskamp, and a preface by Bindman and John Commander. It is a scholarly work that illuminates virtually all aspects of the creation and subsequent history of this epic illustrated book.
