Attesting to their popularity, Martin's mezzotints were published in four additional editions after the Prowett plates were sold. Martin made revisions to a few of the plates, and the whole set was released in a bound edition. In 1832 Prowett, an American who had not been able to persuade the English market for whom it had been intended to purchase it, sold Martin's plates to the publisher Charles Tilt, along with the substantial number of unsold sheets from his 1827 edition of Paradise Lost.
Prowett sold subscriptions to the sets, and subscribers received prints in increments until 1827, when the project was complete. The project called for the production of 48 mezzotints, 24 for an octavo size set and an equal number for a larger deluxe set. John Martin began the process of illustrating Milton's Paradise Lost in 1824 under commission from the publisher Septimus Prowett.
