This book contained works by both William Blake and John Varley (1778-1842). The drawings by Blake are mostly portrayals of supposed manifestations of historical people, the so-called 'Visionary Heads', made at the behest of Varley, who was an amateur astrologer. In addition to the present work, there were two further depictions of the Empress Maud (1102-1167). Usually known as Matilda, she was the daughter of Henry I of England, and married Emperor Henry V. After her husband's death she returned to England and was recognised by her father as his successor, but this was opposed by her cousin Stephen.

Omega Workshops; Arthur Clutton-Brock & Roald Kristian (ill.): 'Simpson's Choice: An Essay on the Future Life', London, Omega Workshops Ltd., 1915, 1st edition, limited to 500 copies only, 3 full-page wood-engraved illustrations, numerous head and tail-pieces, and decorative opening initials by Roald Kristian as called for, printed under the direction of J.H. Mason, 4to, original cloth backed pictorial paper covered boards. The Omega Workshops was a design enterprise founded by members of the Bloomsbury Group in July 1913, with the intention of providing graphic expression to the essence of the Bloomsbury ethos. The Workshops was also closely associated with the Hogarth Press, with Roger Fry, Duncan Grant, and Vanessa Bell as its directors. Wyndham Lewis was also initially part of the operation, and whilst Fry was keen to encourage a Post-Impressionist influence in designs produced for Omega, Cubist and Fauvist influences are also apparent, particularly in many of the textile designs. Unfortunately Omega Workshop was short-lived and closed down in 1919, 'Simpson's Choice' was the first work to be published at the Omega Workshop, and was to be one of only four books completed by the Press.
