Blake, William (Trianon Press)
Water-Colour Designs For The Poems Of Thomas Gray. A Facsimile with Introduction and Commentary by Sir Geoffrey Keynes
1972. London: Trianon Press 1972. <br /> <br /> 3 volumes folio with 116 color facsimile leaves reproduced by collotype and hand-stencil color the text of the poems reproduced from copper-plate with 3 additional printings to reproduce Blake's pencillings and the tone of the paper. Marbled boards morocco backstrips slipcases a fine set as issued.<br /> <br /> § Edition limited to 518 copies in all including 100 copies for Paul Mellon personally of which 12 copies were a super de luxe issue in three volumes with extra material 36 copies were a de luxe issue also with extra material but in sheets unbound18 copies were hors commerce contents unrecorded and 352 copies either bound in 3 volumes in slipcases or as a single set of the loose sheets in a box. This is copy #125.<br /> <br /> The 116 water-color illustrations to Thomas Gray's poems are among Blake's major achievements as an illustrator. They were commissioned in 1797 by Blake's friend the sculptor John Flaxman as a gift for his wife Ann to whom Blake addressed the poem that ends the series. The commission may have been inspired by the Flaxmans' seeing Blake's water-color designs to Edward Young's Night Thoughts begun in 1795. The Gray illustrations follow the same basic format. Blake cut windows in large sheets of the same type of Whatman paper used for the Night Thoughts illustrations and mounted in these windows the texts of Gray's poems from a 1790 octavo edition published by John Murray leaving out some prefatory materials fly-titles the notes and the 7 engraved illustrations. Blake then drew and colored his designs surrounding the letterpress texts. On blank versos near the beginning of each poem and in one case on a separate piece of paper pasted over letterpress text Blake inscribed with pen and ink either titles for each design or quotations from the poem to indicate the passage illustrated. On most text pages Blake also drew a pencil cross left of the first line of the illustrated passage. He numbered most leaves consecutively in pen and ink beginning a new sequence for each of the 13 poems.<br /> <br /> Blake conceived of his work as an illustrated book rather than a series of unbound designs as indicated by his offsetting Gray's texts above and to the right left on versos from the middle of each leaf-then the convention for all letterpress books. Although listed by William Michael Rossetti in his catalogue of Blake's drawings and paintings published in the 1863 and 1880 editions of Alexander Gilchrist's Life of William Blake the Gray illustrations were virtually unknown until their rediscovery by Herbert Grierson in 1919.<br /> <br /> The Trianon Press reproductions are recognized as the finest examples of the art of facsimile reproduction; working from the originals in Paul Mellon's collection each leaf is faithfully hand-colored through stencils to achieve an astonishing exactitude. The Times Literary Supplement stated that nothing like these books had ever been printed before and that it was highly unlikely that they could be printed again. Bentley Blake Books 385. unknown

Blake, William (illustrator). Blair, Robert
William Blake's Watercolour Inventions in Illustration of The Grave by Robert Blair; Edited with Essays and Commentary by Martin Butlin and an Essay on the Poem by Morton D. Paley
2009. N. P.: The William Blake Trust 2009. <br /> <br /> Folio 95pp. Original black silk binding with morocco labels stamped in gilt to top board and backstrip black cloth-covered slipcase; illustrated throughout with color reproductions of watercolor drawings as well as engravings. As new. <br /> <br /> § First edition limited to 186 copies out of print on publication. From the announcement: "These watercolor designs which disappeared from the public eye from 1836-2001 came to light in a Glasgow bookshop and were later offered as an entity to institutions and collectors at a price which as it turned out none could afford or at least was prepared to pay. Eventually in the face of much protest the portfolio and the 19 designs were offered for sale in 20 separate lots at Sotheby's New York in 2006. The drawings are now widely dispersed and it is most unlikely that they will ever again be seen together." The sale was roundly condemned at the time as an act of cultural crime. This book and the facsimile portfolio in the de luxe issue are now the only record we will ever have of the original series. Happily the Blake Trust created a superb book which is and will surely remain the single most valuable reference work on these remarkable Blake drawings. unknown

BLAKE, William; GRIERSON, H[erbert] J[ohn] C[lifford] (ed)
William Blake’s designs for Gray’s poems reproduced full-size in monochrome or colour from the unique copy belonging to His Grace the Duke of Hamilton. . .
London: Humphrey Milford Oxford University Press 1922. FIRST EDITION. Tipped in frontispiece portrait and engraved title preceding 116 plates 6 in color. Original publisher’s cloth gilt lettering some rubbing on corners; interior excellent. First publication of Blake’s designs for Thomas Gray’s poems number 16 of 650 copies. The sculptor John Flaxman commissioned the project as a gift for his wife in 1797. Blake produced 116 watercolors for his friend all of which are reproduced in this limited edition. Gray 1716–1771 was a popular poet in eighteenth-century England; however due to his self-critical nature he only published thirteen poems in his lifetime. His poem Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard remains his most well-known work and earned him his popularity and legacy in English literary history. Blake 1757–1827 a poet in his own right as well as an artist was well-suited for illustrating Gray’s poems including Elegy given his romantic style and underpinnings of religion philosophy and melancholy.

John Commander's set with his name inscribed on the limitation leaf being one of five "containing extra material. specially made up for those most closely concerned with bringing the publication to completion". Commander spent his life in publishing and for many years headed the Scolar Press. An expert on Blake he was heavily involved in the refounding of the William Blake Trust and was appointed as secretary and executive director of the organisation. A scarce work to begin with this is a highly desirable set of this expanded and very limited issue given to an esteemed authority on Blake who had did much to promote the study and enjoyment of the artist's work over many decades.
