Abstract

"William Blake's illustrated books mark a major development in the history of printmaking. For the first time an artist executed the text and illustrations in one process and on a single plate. The Book of Job expresses Blake's vision that it was the true artist, not the priest, who was man's closest link to God". (blurb).
