Platemark 21.5 x 16.3cm; Sheet size 34.6 x 26.2cm. .Three marginal abrasion.Printed on thick unwatermarked rag paper.From the 100 sets on drawing paper with the word "Proof" removed from the plates printed in 1826.

In the collection of the British Museum there are three complete copies as well as separate impressions one related drawing and the copperplates themselves. In its technical excellence the series is a tribute to earlier engravers whom Blake admired such as Albrecht Dürer."Illustrations of The Book of Job" was commissioned by John Linnell in 1823. It is dated March 1825 but was not finished until 1826. It is the last of several works on the theme of Job which were made by Blake throughout his career. Initially about 300 sets of impressions were made - about half of these were described as "proof" sets. John Linnell retained the copperplates and a posthumous edition was printed in 1874. The plates are now in the British Museum London: William Blake, March 8. 1825 [1826]. unknown

Printed on Dutch pannekoek mould-made paper and bound in Holland by J. Brandt & Zoon with terra-cotta buckram over beveled boards with gilt title on spine; black paper jacket with gilt stars and dots title on white label on spine edges untrimmed. This is copy no. 33 in ink on limitation page of 1440 copies printed. <br /> <br /> Dreyfus 126. This is the sequel to The Nonesuch Press' first book of Blake's Pencil Drawings published in 1927. The Max Reinhardt / Nonesuch list 1956 remarked: 'During the twenty-nine years that have elapsed a number of exciting drawings have come to light several of which are now in the Editor's possession such as the fine study for the great colour-print of 'Newton' now in the Tate Gallery and Blake's magnificent version of the Laocoon theme in which he adapts the groups by Praxiteles to his own mythology.' John Dreyfus. A History of The Nonesuch Press. London: 1981<br /> <br /> The NONESUCH PRESS was a private press founded in 1922 in London by Francis Meynell his second wife Vera Mendel and their mutual friend David Garnett who was a bookseller in Soho's Gerrard Street in the basement of which the press began. It was unusual among private presses in that it used a small hand press to design books but had them printed by commercial printers in order to produce book designs with the quality of a fine-press but available to a wider audience at lower prices. Meynell also wanted to demonstrate that "mechanical means could be made to serve fine ends." He believed that the production of exquisitely designed and produced books was not the preserve of the private press predicated upon the example established by William Morris's Kelmscott Press which emphasized the primacy of the hand press printed book.

Blake, William Hayward, John
Calling Card" sometimes called a bookplate for George Cumberland. Pasted into a copy of "English Poetry: a Descriptive Catalogue" 1947/
1827. N.p.: n.d. <br /> <br /> 8vo 141pp. original printed blue wrappers with the Blake plate pasted in at the front. The image and plate mark as per Essick 3.1 x 7.8 cm. and 3.3 x 8.1 cm. respectively. Printed in black on wove India paper measuring 5 x 10 cm.<br /> <br /> § Enigmatic version of the famous "Cumberland card" Blake's last engraving executed for one of his closest friends. It is lightly printed and pasted into a copy of the Hayward catalogue: inscribed at the front by Geoffrey Keynes to Robin Skelton and with a later pencil inscription see below noting that this is "a copy of Blake's engraving struck off by Keynes from the plate". This cannot be true since Keynes never owned the original plate and its whereabouts have never been established. More likely is that Keynes gave Skelton a spare proof of the card illustrated in his book Engravings by William Blake plate 38. A subsequent owner William Clair notes in pencil: "Presented to Robin Skelton by Geoffrey Keynes with a copy of Blake's engraving struck off by Keynes from the plate." and adding "Bought in Toronto". Skelton was a highly regarded poet and academic who though English lived in Toronto and taught at the University of Victoria.<br /> <br /> The images invoke one of Blake's greatest themes-the relationships between time and eternity. Opinions vary on the purpose of this plate but it should be noted that at the time 1827 it was not uncommon to paste a calling card into a book as proof of ownership. However no book once owned by Cumberland has been located with his card pasted in. It has also been suggested that the name of Cumberland in the center was executed by a writing engraver and Blake added his borders later. 39 examples of this print are known to Essick not including examples now untraced all but three on laid paper printed later and three on card but it is quite rare in commerce. <br /> <br /> Offered with the book Engravings by William Blake.<br /> <br /> Essick The Separate Plates of William Blake XXI.

Blake, William
Calling Card" sometimes called a bookplate for George Cumberland
1827. London: William Blake 1827. <br /> <br /> Printed in black ink on thick card. Very finely printed in good condition though trimmed very close to the image at the left and right edges once pasted down and thus with traces of mounting on the verso and pencil notes from an earlier collector c. 1950 image and plate mark exactly as per Essick 1DD.<br /> <br /> § Blake's last engraving executed for one of his closest friends. "Blake inscribed the plate lower right with his name and age "A Æ 70." He may have sensed that 1827 could well be the last year of his life but took pride in being capable of pursuing his art and craft to the end. Blake was in fact 69 when he died; perhaps he inscribed "70" on the Cumberland card in anticipation of working on it until he turned that age. At least when considered in retrospect this most unusual inscription contributes to the elegiac and prophetic iconography of the design."<br /> <br /> The images invoke one of Blake's greatest themes-the relationships between time and eternity. Although probably intended as a calling card two books have been located with this card pasted in both written by George Cumberland Jr. Thus it has on occasion been sold as a "bookplate." Examples on card not in Cumberland's book are exceptionally rare and have been presumed to be of the earliest printing and possibly by Blake himself. All other impressions on laid paper most often are posthumous. Thirty-nine examples in all are known to Essick not including examples now untraced of which eight are on card of which one is described as printed in green ink.

Linnell became an important patron to Blake in the final years of his life commissioning among other works a set of engravings illustrating the Book of Job and buying the watercolours that Blake had made for John Milton’s 'Paradise Regained'.The first portion of the sale was made up of works by Linnell himself as well as works and prints by other artists. Lots 148 to 215 all relate to Blake and include among sketches watercolours and letters the 98 drawings for Dante the drawings for the 'Illustrations of the Book of Job' the drawings for Milton's 'Paradise Regained' the illuminated books 'America A Prophecy' 'The Marriage of Heaven and Hell' 'Songs of Innocence and Experience' two copies 'There Is No Natural Religion' 'Vala' and more; notable are also the eleven sets of Blake's engravings for Dante and the 68 copies of the 'Illustrations for the Book of Job'.Four of the lots are priced in sepia ink in the catalogue: a note records that '148 Dante's 'Divina Comedia'' sold for 7300 Guineas; '149 The Book of Job' i.e. the original drawings sold for 3000; '151 Paradise Regained' fetched 2100; and '215 . 'Songs of Innocence and Experience'' achieved 700 Guineas.The catalogue a remarkable survival shows some toning to the wrappers and has been folded at some point a few chips to the rear wrapper and some dog ears do not detract from a well-preserved and unsophisticated example. Although well represented and widely held in institutions the catalogue is very scarce in commerce. Christie, Manson & Woods. unknown
