What is The book of Urizen London, ca. 1818 ; the Lessing J. Rosenwald Collection, Library of Congress about?

The Book of Urizen was originally engraved in 1794 as The First Book of Urizen , for a projected series of works expressing Blake’s idiosyncratic cosmogony. Only a handful of copies are known to have been completed, and only one of these was executed later in the artist’s career (ca. 1818). That copy, reproduced with unequaled detail and accuracy in this Octavo Digital Edition, uses masterly techniques of coloring to produce in many instances what are virtually original paintings highlighted in liquid gold. Blake’s painstaking technique transforms the relatively flat picture surface of the original engravings into a dazzling epic in miniature that combines his bardic verse with otherworldly imagery to recount as never before the origins of human experience. http://www.octavo.com/editions/blkurz/index.html
