"Songs of Innocence was originally a complete collection of 23 poems first printed in 1789. Blake etched 31 plates to create the work and produced an estimated seventeen or eighteen copies. This collection mainly shows happy, innocent perception in pastoral harmony, but at times, such as in 'The Chimney Sweeper' and 'The Little Black Boy', subtly shows the dangers of this naïve and vulnerable state." [Wiki]"This edition of Blake's "Songs of Innocence" is reproduced from a copy in the British Museum, has been printed and made in Great Britain, and was first published in the year 1926 by Ernest Benn, Ltd., Bouverie House, Fleet Street, London."
