The full text of the entry is as follows:
"BLAKE, William (1757-1827)
Title-page, frontispiece and 6 plates from a set of 10 (including title-page and frontispiece) entitled There is No Natural Religion (K:Bib.32 series a) by William Blake, published by the author between 1788 and 1794. Plates 7 (Proposition IV) and 10 (Conclusion) missing.
Lettered with title, text etc.
Colour relief-etchings, some with additional colour by hand. E.365-372-1956
Bequeathed by John A. Tulk"
Labels and date
As Blake's lettering would have to have been made in reverse on the plate, it is thought that he must have made his design on paper and transferred it face down on the plate while still wet.
