The book includes several reproductions of Blake's illustrations, providing readers with a visual representation of his interpretation of The Divine Comedy. Overall, William Blake and His Illustrations to the Divine Comedy is a fascinating exploration of the intersection between literature and art, and the creative genius of one of the most influential artists of the Romantic era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
