46a. William Blake, Experience
title plates of Songs of Innocence and of Experience copies
F (top) and T1 (bottom). Yale Center for British Art, Paul Mellon Collection (copy F) and National Gallery of Canada,
Ottawa (copy T1). Details of pillars
and figures in the two impressions, showing that they share the
same pattern of printed colors around the date. This shared pattern
indicates that the two impressions were printed in the same session.
The white escarpments, visible in the copy F impression, were painted
over in the copy T1 impression
in the same gray color used to paint out the date. |
