First edition. Folio (42 x 33.5cm). 'Edwards edition is as much a book of design as of type; spendidly printed in folio on thick paper, with an ample margin to each page. Around every alternate leaf Blake engraved wild, allegorical figures; designs little adapted to the apprehension of his public. He so engraved them as to make a picture of the whole page, as in his own illustrated poems.'- Gilchrist. pp. [viii],[2],95,[3]. With the final 'Explanation of Engravings' leaf, often missing but requisite for completeness, and thought by Gilchrist to be written by Fuseli. Four sectional titles & 39 magnificent borders all designed & engraved by Blake. Contemporary half calf, rebacked to style, the board corners a little worn. A few occasional light internal marks, occasional light trimming to borders as usually found with this work, the engravings designed to fit fully the page margins, but an excellent copy. Vg.

Full Morocco. Etat : Very Good. First Edition. Elephantine folio, 44 by 34 cm. viii, [2], 95, [2] pp. 43 of the pages have Blake's expansive, charismatic illustrations surrounding the text. Four of these are section heads, the balance, being border ornamentation, but even the latter are far more than merely decorative. The distinctive Blake artwork fires the imagination regardless. In fact, the text, which is framed with ruled lines, seems to cover some of the illustration. Last two pages are the Explanation of the Engravings, which are often not present. The full navy blue morocco is fairly heavily rubbed along the edges, a bit less so, by the joints. Some scattered soiling within, but the pages are generally quite clean. There are a few closed tears, not of great length, and one repaired close tear which was somewhat longer. The Explanation of Engravings leaf has two repaired tears. Notwithstanding these flaws, this is an attractive, appealing copy.

Half brown morocco, backstrip gilt, gilt top, by Riviere; a very large copy measuring 16 1/2 x 13 inches thus preserving almost all the imprints. A near fine copy with very occasional toning and offsetting; binding lightly worn. § First edition with Blake's illustrations, complete with the leaf of "Explanations." Essick and LaBelle explain in their commentary how Blake, virtually in a frenzy, completed 537 watercolor designs when he was commissioned by the publisher Edwards to illustrate Young's masterpiece. Edwards issued only the first four "Nights" (or sections) and had Blake etch and engrave 43 plates to test the market. The response must have been poor since no further engravings were requested of Blake and Edwards ceased business shortly thereafter. Ironically, today the poet Young, once compared with Shakespeare and Milton, is largely forgotten save for this edition. Colored copies are known in two palettes, the earlier of which may have been colored under Blake's direction. Bentley, BB, 515. Easson and Essick, WBBI, Vol. I, IV.
