Blake

Nice article, but are any of Blake's books actually in woodcut? Most are certainly in relief etching on metal, which he invented. Johnbod (talk) 13:07, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. I took that from Hind without giving it any thought. Apparently Blake only did one group of woodcuts and they're just illustrations without text. See William Blake: being all his woodcuts photographically reproduced in facsimile I'll remove it. BTW, thanks for your helpful edits. Ecphora (talk) 13:18, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
