"The illustrations from the Book of Job were designed and engraved by William Blake in the last years of his life. They represent the culmination of his career as illustrator, engraver, and interpreter of the Bible. Their appeal to the eye is immediate, and their dialogue with the mind is enduring. This edition contains all twenty-two of the illustrations along with the complete authorized version of the Book of Job, and a new introduction which will be of interest to both newcomers and old admirers of Blake's work."--Page 4 of cover.
