Re: Blake's notebook goes on display

["Andrew F Wilson" <andrewfwilson>]

The exhibition at the British Library in London called "William Blake:
Under The Influence"  includes two items donated recently to the
British Library by Patti Smith.  Firstly a manuscript copy of the
words to her song My Blakean Year, and secondly a photograph of
William Blake's gravestone.  The manuscript of My Blakean year is
described in the caption as a 'draft', but I would say it as a fair
copy written in pencil on hand-made paper and signed.  The photograph
of Blake's grave in Bunhill Fields Burial Ground has the title
'Headstone Wm Blake'.

Kind regards


Andrew
