Description
1915 WILLIAM BLAKE Songs of INNOCENCE Experience Illustrated Poetry Collection



“Songs of Innocence” by William Blake is a seminal collection of poems that showcases Blakes unique perspective on the state of childhood and innocence. Originally printed and illuminated by the author in 1789, this work intertwines pastoral joy and the looming shadows of a more experienced world. While predominantly reflecting on the blissful and idyllic aspects of youth, some pieces like “The Chimney Sweeper” and “The Little Black Boy” deftly explore the vulnerability of innocence amid societal woes. This collection is a hallmark of Blakes profound artistry, marrying his poetic vision with his skills as a visual artist to create an immersive and thought-provoking exploration of the human souls pure beginnings.
