This volume is being sold as a collection of plates. FURTHER COMMENTS Third edition (volume one only) is the only edition of Thornton's Pastorals of Virgil to be illustrated by William Blake. Blake had a hand in 27 of the 232 illustrations across the two volumes but 25 of these are contained in the first volume illustrating Virgil's First Pastoral. Of the 6 copper engravings done by Blake, 4 are in this first volume and the other two in the second volume and one is a design for another engraver. The 20 woodcuts in volume one are all after his own designs. It is worth mentioning that these were the only woodcuts that Blake ever cut and Lawrence Binyon wrote of them: 'They have the character of visions called up as if by moonlight out of the darkened surface of the wood'.
