Baskin, Leonard, illustrator. William Blake. Auguries of Innocence by William Blake. The Print Club of Philadelphia, The Gehenna Press, Northampton, MA, 1959.

Condition: Near Fine

Description: No. 200 of 250 limitation, signed and numbered in pencil by Leonard Baskin. This was Baskin's first venture into publishing, and his jagged and stark illustrations amplify the fire and brimstone of Blake's both naive and worldweary verse that lilts at the same time it pierces and challenges. Printed on an Italian hand-made paper, this is indeed a very handsome brochure, and this copy is pristine internally, with the faint remnants of tape top and bottom on both the front and rear of the wraps the only minor blight to the special production.
