§ "The Book of Thel has long been considered one of the most readable and beautiful of Blake's prophetic works... Here at last is a text that comes as close as possible to Blake's intention, based on a collation of the seventeen extant copies of Thel engraved and printed by Blake himself. And, facing this text, the delicately hand-colored plates of the New York Public Library copy are reproduced with exceptional fidelity." Item #126797
