A pair of woodcut engravings, "Blake: a fragment" and "Blake," inscribed respectively "for Sylvia & Ted" and "for S. & T." each signed "Baskin."  Fully backed to paper support with small tears and losses to periphery of fragile tissue just outside of the plate, mounted together and archivally matted.  

Leonard Baskin had befriended Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes when they were living in Northampton, MA, in 1957-1958. Baskin taught printmaking and sculpture at Smith College from 1953-1973. The friendship flourished after their return to England and Baskin continued to collaborate with Hughes for decades, indeed right up to Hughes' death in 1998. These prints were engraved as part of Blake and the Youthful Ancients (1956), fifty copies of which were printed, the book consisting of 18 wood engravings of William Blake and his followers.
