Phillips, engraved additional pictorial title and 11 plates by Schiavonetti after Blake, portrait frontispiece lightly browned, light spotting throughout affecting one or two plates, loose as issued within original blind-stamped cloth portfolio, spine a little rubbed and scuffed at ends, lacking ties, [Bentley 435E], folio, R. Ackermann, 1813 [?1870].*** "When Gilchrist's Life of William Blake (1863) made the artist's name familiar again, a deposit of prints left over from 1813 came to light, probably in Ackerman's storehouse. Somebody (possibly John Camden Hotten) reissued the books [...] no new title pages, no dates or places indicated; but the bindings are in mid-Victorian style, and could not have been made in the first half-century" A Blake Dictionary: The Ideas and Symbols of William Blake By Samuel Foster Damon.
