EDITORS COMMENTS
This frontispiece to William Blake's "Jerusalem" transports viewers into a realm of prophetic poetry and visionary imagination. The etching, enhanced with pen, watercolor, and delicate touches of gold on paper, measures 22x16 cm and is housed in the prestigious Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection. The image features a pointed archway as its focal point, drawing our attention towards a radiant sun disc emitting glorious rays. As we gaze upon this glowing spectacle, we are invited to step through the archway alongside the figure depicted within it. This mysterious individual wears a hat and stands at the threshold of an entrance that symbolizes heightened awareness. Blake's illustration evokes both romanticism and romanticist ideals with its ethereal atmosphere. It captures not only the physical doorway but also represents an entry into profound spiritual realms. Through his masterful use of artistic techniques, Blake invites us to explore his poetic world where boundaries between reality and fantasy blur. As we contemplate this mesmerizing print from Bentley Copy E (1804-20), we become aware of the transformative power inherent in art itself. This piece serves as a testament to Blake's genius as he skillfully merges various mediums to create an otherworldly experience for those who encounter it.
