YL 206: Sheets are loose and divided among five folders.

YL 206: On most plates, lines have been numbered in pencil by fives; througout are pencil marks, queries and corrections of printing errors in Blake; the annotations are sometimes very heavy, though many have been erased and are now illegible; the legible annotations do not apear to by WBY's and are likely Edwin Ellis's. From the numbering of lines, it appears that these pages were used to make the photographic reproductions for the Yeats-Ellis edition of Blake (1893).
