''Jerusalem'', subtitled ''The Emanation of the Giant Albion'' (1804–1820, with additions made even later), was the last, longest and greatest in scope of the prophetic books written and illustrated by the English poet, artist and engraver William Blake. Etched in handwriting, accompanied by small sketches, marginal figures and huge full-plate illustrations, it has been described as "visionary theatre".〔Prickett, Stephen, 2013, "Holy Bricolage" (review of ''Blake's Jerusalem as Visionary Theatre'', by Susanne M. Sklar, OUP), ''Times Literary Supplement'', 22 March page 24〕 The lyric to the famous hymn ''Jerusalem'' (text also by Blake, with music by Sir Hubert Parry) is not connected to this poem. It is in fact taken from the preface to another of his "prophetic books", ''Milton''. ==Production technique== The poem, which was produced between 1804 and 1820, consists of 100 etched and illustrated plates, thus making it Blake's longest single work. The illustrated plates were made using Blake's self-devised technique of "illuminated printing", which required each copy to be individually coloured and produced, plate by plate. Blake was not averse to changing the text of some plates between printings or changing the colouring, as a result of which no two original copies of the poem are the same. Six copies (A-F) were printed between 1820 and 1827. Four copies (H–J) are posthumous (1832). Copy B is incomplete and includes only the First Chapter (25 plates). The arrangement of the Second chapter is different in early (A & C) and late (D & E) copies. Copy F that was collated later in 1827 by John Linnell is arranged like early copy C. There are only two colored copies (B & E). The sole extant colour edition of this work is in the collection of the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, Connecticut.〔For more detail see (''Jerusalem The Emanation of The Giant Albion'' (1804-c. 1820) ) William Blake Archive. 〕
