THE AMERICAN BLAKE FOUNDATION
The American Blake Foundation, a non-profit educational trust devoted to encouraging begin page 35 | ↑ back to top interest in the works of William Blake and his circle, was established July 7, 1970. The Foundation is moving to create a trust fund which will be used to finance national and international symposia, to award research grants, to give scholarships, and to create a research library. Funds will accrue from a projected reprint series of Blake’s illuminated works. Negotiations are currently underway to produce moderately priced full-color and black-and-white facsimiles which will be generally available to the student and scholar.
