SONGS
of
EXPERIENCE
1794
The Author & Printer, W. Blake
The engraved title to the Songs of Experience, when pubHshed either in conjunction with the Songs of Innocence or separately. The plate is printed on the recto of the leaf, facing the frontispiece of the Shepherd on the verso of the preceding leaf.
Reprinted in Gilchrist's Life (ii. end) from an electrotype of the original plate. This title-page would appear to have been twice engraved by Blake. In Gilchrist's reprint the date 1794 is omitted and the cross stroke to the letter f has a downward instead of an upward curve. In some copies the date has evidently been inserted by hand.
