London: Macmillan, 1880. Second edition. Very Good/Finished and much expanded version of the 1863 pilot edition, which was interrupted by the author's death. Anne Gilchrist completed the work, with the help of Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who edited the poems and writings, William Michael Rossetti, who catalogued the paintings.

Justly celebrated covers of blue cloth stamped in gilt with art nouveau rendering (by Frederic J. Shields) of a sketch from Blake's manuscript notebook of two figures reclining in an open poppy petal beneath a canopy of belladonna petals under a spangled night sky. The spine reproduces in gilt a figure from Blake's "Night Thoughts." Binder's ticket (Burn & Co.) present. Pages uncut. This copy extremely well-preserved.
