Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University Press, 1971. Stated Third Printing. Quarto. 30cm. Publisher's blue bloth titled in gilt and dark blue to spine. Dustjacket. [xiii];[1]; 219pp.; [103] of art prints to rear, unpaginated. Light wear and scuffing to spine ends and extremities, with a little discoloration of the cloth at spine ends; internally clean and fresh, offsetting to front flyleaf from something, most likely newsprint that at one time was laid in at the front; in a strong, pale paper dustjacket with some sunning to the spine panel and a little light soiling in places. A very good copy indeed.

A later printing of Roe's exhaustive investigation of William Blake's process and inspiration related to the suite of artworks he produced for Dante's Divine Comedy.
