- Title Page: Jerusalem (1952)
- Student Commentary:
- This title page depicts Jerusalem (the female “emanation of the Giant Albion” in the subtitle of the poem) as a butterfly surrounded by figures who are mourning and flying about in distress. Jerusalem is in her unawakened state, separated from Albion. This image from the 1952 facsimile should be compared to the colored facsimile in the library’s collections from 1974. Although the image shows a lot of detail, without color some of the impact is lost.
