William Blake vs. The World
In William Blake vs. the World John Higgs captures just how radical what Blake did was, both as a technology of creation and as an ethos:
“Eighteenth-century printing was a complex job which involved many specialist tradesmen. One person wrote the book, another was responsible for editing it, and a third typeset the text. An artist designed illustrations for an engraver to produce, and a printer put each page through the press, once for text and a second time for the images. On occasions, these would be hand-coloured by another specialist, and finally a bookseller would sell the finished book.”
