Job Job's Complaint
Printmaker: Blake, William
Keynes, Bibliotheca Bibliographici, No. 554. A very richly inked impression printed on India laid onto a support, trimmed to the edge of the tissue just within the plate mark and later relined. It is possible that the impression printed on India has been lifted from its original support, trimmed slightly, and laid back down on its original or another support and then relined. This would explain the fact that the vertical dimension differs from the other Fitzwilliam impression (P.3-1953) by about 3 mm. There are odd additional light scratches to the plate that suggest that this impression was printed later than P.3-1953
