Works by William Blake (1757-1827), in the public domain: illuminated books (Jerusalem, America, Europe, Urizen, Thel, Songs of Innocence and of Experience, one plate per work), engraved illustrations (Book of Job, Dante, Virgil), watercolors, tempera paintings and drawings, published online by the museums that hold them, each linked to its museum record. The photographs come from the museum itself when it publishes them under an open licence, otherwise from Wikimedia Commons (public domain). A plate of an illuminated book is presented as a work, taken from a single copy of the book; only works that the museum attributes to Blake himself are included, never engravings after other artists.
