Prints for Sale

Listed below is a selection of impressions from the Illuminated Books, individually priced, including a few pairs of prints and small sets. 

All have been printed on old English, hand-made, off-white, wove papers, torn to the same sizers that Blake printed on (280 x 190 and 390 x 280 mm). The colours of ink match those that Blake mixed to print with, and have been mixed as he did, from historic dry pigments, including yellow ochre, gamboge, Prussian blue, vermillion, madder lake and bone black. 

As each plate has been carefully inked by hand it is impossible to duplicate the same layering and grainy texture of the ink when the plate is again prepared for printing, with the result that, like Blake’s originals, no two impressions are the same. Each is unique.

The price includes mounting each print in off-white, acid-free, board, ready for framing. A description printed in letterpress is also included, explaining how the relief-etched copper plates have been re-created, and how the impressions have been printed.

There is also a complete list of all of the replica relief-etched copper plates of the Illuminated Books that have been made. Any one or group of these plates can be printed to order. A very few of the Limited Edition sets also remain available for purchase, click Limited Edition Sets in the navigation above to explore.
