‎Blake William. Flaxman John.‎

‎Compositions from The Works Days and Theogony of Hesiod. Designed by John Flaxman engraved by William Blake. with Compositions from the Tragedies of Aeschylus Designed by John Flaxman Engraved by Thomas Piroli and Frank Howard.‎

‎London: Longman Hurst Rees Orme & Brown 1817-1831. Oblong folio 2 34 plates 30 from Piroli's original set plus 4 by Howard; Hesiod title page 37 Blake plates the first a second title page. Bound in original half brown morocco and cloth gilt title to front cover wear to spine edges and corners binding strained due to weight of pages and apparently with an earlier repair holding reasonably firm. § Bound with Flaxman's Aeschylus here the 1831 issue published by Miss Flaxman and Maria Denman. The Aeschylus is rather dusty and with occasional mild foxing marks and an old triangular dampstain at the upper right corner affecting the first 20 plates to a decreasing extent not touching the designs. Bentley believes 50 copies of this issue were printed on publication in 1831. The Hesiod plates are dated 1816 or 1817 consistent with Bentley's note that 200 sets were printed in 1817 but sold slowly such that 18 sets were still unsold in 1838 and dealers made up combined copies of the Flaxman titles in various combinations. This set appears to be one such set. The Hesiod plates are generally clean with light dusting to margins a few margins slightly mottled and also occasional light foxing to a few but mainly to outer margins.

‎There Is No Natural Religion. and All Religions are One.‎

‎4to. Edmonton: William Muir 1886. 4to printed upper wrapper; 1 blank 2 Preface 3-23 text; lower wrapper printed on the inside with the “Programme†dated November 1885. All bound into modern blue buckram red morocco label on backstrip bookplate of Joseph Holland and a Moncure Biddle typed library record at front Houghton Library Phil Hofer manuscript note pasted in at the back. A fine copy. § Copy No. 11 of 50.Includes “ All Religions are One†and Muir's own version of the missing plate b5. Essick notes: There is No Natural Religion. The "Preface" dated 1886 indicates that the facsimile is based on plates "in the British Museum copy A and from some papers in my own possession copy L." However the printed front wrapper of Muir's Europe facsimile 1887 indicates that "Mr. Burt's copy H--which according to Joseph Viscomi is a forgery" was also used. This would seem to be correct since copies A and L are printed in olive and green whereas plates a1 a2 and b1 in the facsimile are in brown as in copy H. Also includes plate 2 of All Religions are One the original of which is bound into There is No Natural Religion copy M and Muir's own version of the missing plate b5. Delivered to Quaritch 8 Sept. 1886. Note: There is No Natural Religion copy M also printed in brown but it seems unlikely that this was "Mr. Burt's copy" since copy M was in the Tulk family collection until 1956.†Bentley BB 249 G.

‎Poetical Sketches. Now first reprinted from the original edition of 1783 edited and prefaced by Richard Herne Shepherd.‎

‎Small 8vo. London: Pickering 1868. Small 8vo xiv 96 pp.A good copy in original cloth with a small amount of wear at spine ends and the paper label on spine darkened and with two small chips. Rear end paper slightly foxed and one or two spots on occasional pages but internally the book is a clean copy with just a touch of dusting to page edges. § First printing after the exceedingly rare edition of 1783 known in about 24 copies. Bentley BB 129. “The original 1783 copies were seventy-two pages in length printed in octavo by John Flaxman's aunt who owned a small print shop in the Strand and paid for by Anthony Stephen Mathew and his wife Harriet dilettantes to whom Blake had been introduced by Flaxman in early 1783. Each individual copy was hand-stitched with a grey back and a blue cover reading "POETICAL SKETCHES by W.B." It was printed without a table of contents and many pages were without half titles. Of the extant copies eleven contain corrections in Blake's handwriting. Poetical Sketches is one of only two works by Blake to be printed conventionally with typesetting; the only other extant work is The French Revolution in 1791 which was to be published by Joseph Johnson. However it never got beyond the proof copy and was thus not actually published.Even given the modest standards by which the book was published it was something of a failure. Alexander Gilchrist noted that the publication contained several obvious misreadings and numerous errors in punctuation suggesting that it was printed with little care and was not proofread by Blake thus the numerous handwritten corrections in printed copies. Gilchrist also notes that it was never mentioned in the Monthly Review even in the magazine's index of "Books noticed" which listed every book published in London each month signifying that the publication of the book had gone virtually unnoticed. Nevertheless Blake himself was proud enough of the volume that he was still giving copies to friends as late as 1808 and when he died several unstitched copies were found amongst his belongings.†Wikipedia Pickering hardcover books‎

‎Blake William. Muir Facsimile.‎

‎America a Prophecy.‎

‎Folio. Edmonton: William Muir 1887. Folio 18 plates printed in blue. Original wrappers rebacbacked top edge gilt fine. § Uncolored Muir facsimile limited to around 50 copies of which according to Keynes in 1921 only 6 were hand-colored. This is copy #3 signed priced and numbered by Muir. "In the first of his "Continental Prophecies" see also Europe and The Song of Los Blake explores the radical paradigms of political repression and revolt through a highly imaginative treatment of the American Revolution. While historical figures such as Washington and Paine appear much of the symbolic and thematic weight is placed on Blake's own invented mythological figures including "Albions Angel" and "Londons Guardian" forces of the British government Urizen the god of restrictive reason and the origin of political repression and fiery Orc the spirit of revolt. The American Revolution is viewed as a harbinger of universal revolution epistemological as much as political." The Blake Archive. Eighteen copies of the original are known to exist. William Muir's facsimiles of Blake's works were the most ambitious and in many cases the first of their kind until the Trianon Press began work for the Blake Trust in 1951. Upon establishing the Blake Press at Edmonton his goals were clear: "My desire and intention is to reproduce ALL the important works by Wm Blake that exist in book form and also some of his finest designs and this by methods of working as nearly the same as Blake himself used as the need of maintaining fidelity to his results will allow. I will not use either photography or chromolithography. All outlines are drawn and all the colouring is by hand. I produce fifty copies only of each book and each of them is numbered".Keri Davies writes "‘Muir’s facsimiles not only made Blake’s works in “Illuminated Printing†accessible for the first time in reliable copies and helped establish Blake’s reputation as visual artist alongside his reputation as poet but I feel must also have contributed to the most advanced ideas in English art of the 1880s."
