Martin's illustrations for Milton's Paradise Lost, produced ca 1824-1827, were first published by Septimus Prowett in 1827.  These slightly reworked plates were publised in Charles Tilt's edition of Milton's work in 1833.  Of the Prowett edition, a writer for The Literary Gazette remarked: "We know no artist, whose genius so perfectly fitted him being the illustrator of the mighty Milton; and in what we have seen of his conceptions he has more than realised the highest of our hopes. There is a wildness, a grandeur, and a mystery about his designs which are indescribably fine...the painter is also a poet...we look upon these engravings to belong to the foremost order of true genius: beyond this there is no praise." [The Literary Gazette, April 2nd 1825].
