About the Book
Each year from 2014 to 2018 graphic design students at Cambridge School of Art were assigned a brief: to typeset and print in letterpress a couplet from William Blake’s ‘Auguries of Innocence’. None of them had used letterpress before. A selection of their prints is collected in this unique visual edition of ‘Auguries of Innocence’, comprising the poem in its entirety and revealing an intriguing insight into the creative mind as it transitions between innocence and experience. With essays by letterpress tutor Elizabeth Fraser and Blake scholar Sibylle Erle, the book also features over fifty images of experiments and works in progress.
