Please see photos as part of condition report 2004 1st Edition 3rd Printing, Slipcase PARADISE LOST A Poem in Twelve Books By John Milton John Milton (9 December 1608 – 8 November 1674) was an English poet and intellectual. His 1667 epic poem Paradise Lost, written in blank verse and including over ten chapters, was written in a time of immense religious flux and political upheaval. It addressed the fall of man, including the temptation of Adam and Eve by the fallen angel Satan and God's expulsion of them from the Garden of Eden. Paradise Lost is widely considered one of the greatest works of literature ever written, and it elevated Milton's widely-held reputation as one of history's greatest poets.

New York and London: Studio Publications, 1947. First Thus. Folio of Loose Prints in Printed Wrappers. Very Good. William Blake. Folio. Nine loose prints comprising Blake's illustrations for Milton's Paradise Lost measuring 13 x 17 inches, along with a one-sheet introduction by Henry Rossiter. Each print with a caption. Prints with a mere suggestion of edge-wear; the introductory sheet and three prints with light marginal stains not affecting type or images. Withal, a well preserved set. While "genius" has lost value through hackneyed application, it applies most aptly to both William Blake and John Milton. For Blake to be so moved by Milton's work that he interpreted his poesy with the watercolors reprinted here was provident: untold generations have been inspired by his sublime and idiosyncratic imagination. The prints are readily frameable. A scarce set, especially in this condition.
