Publisher's Synopsis
Inspired by an 1893 binding of The Poems by William Blake (1757-1827), this design features delicate golden wildflowers. The original volume, crafted in Britain by Zaehnsdorf bindery, had endpapers made of pink floral silk. The botanical beauty of this binding reflects the reverence for the natural world felt by poets of the Romantic era. Now considered one of the greatest artistic and literary geniuses of the 18th and 19th centuries, Blake embraced the divine imagination, often using flowers as a metaphor for joy. Echoing the tune of Blake's imagination and respect for nature, this Wildflower Song design is sure to make your spirit sing.
