What's the best collection to get for William Blake?

I want sizeable images of his visual stuff if possible. Things I've seen have either had all the poetry with no visual material or complaints that the visual material were too small to read the lettering on. Maybe someone knows something.

I've been wondering this too. Pic related is for sale online but it doesn't include text apart from what's illuminated so kind of a pain to read. Ideally there would be a facing page type thing going on.

i'd get the complete works w/o images and then use the online archive to look at the images. the online archive is better than any book. you can pick different versions of the same book (many times different versions are wildly different) and its good quality

What's it have in it?

Interesting. I would imagine that the archives are better but I am the man who prefers to see something in print, whenever possible. If it's the best and last resort, no doubt I will use the archive.

it's worth it for blake

get illuminated books + the complete poems for the text + the blake dictionary + fearful symmetry

then you will pretty much have all you need

Thank you for the advice, looking into all four.
