‎The Grave A Poem. Illustrated by twelve Etchings executed by Louis Schiavonetti from the Original Inventions of William Blake. 1808.‎

‎e. London: Bensley for Ackermann 1813 i.e. 1870. 4to 2 liv 42 pp. With a portrait frontispiece etched title and 11 plates all with tissue guards. Blind-stamped black cloth rebacked with black cloth lettered in gilt. § Third quarto edition printed from the same plates as the 1813 edition but actually issued by or for John Camden Hotten in 1870. Of this version Essick wrote: “I've also seen the true 1813 text and plates in a very similar cloth binding with just a few differences in the blind stamping but very much the same style and period. My theory on that is that Camden Hotten who produced the 1870 issues not only got the copperplates from Ackermann with the Spanish inscriptions for de Mora but also some remainders of the impressions and letterpress and bound these up in a slightly different just the blind stamping and perhaps the cloth color or weave fashion. He removed the Spanish on the coppers and had an engraver restore the 1813 English inscriptions then printed for both the portfolio and the 1870 issue of the text with the engravings. Bentley lists the 1870 issue in Blake Books but I don't believe he lists the portfolio issue of the plates only. I have a vague recollection however that he did note it in one of his later checklists of publications in the Blake Quarterly.†Bentley Blake Books 435E. Bensley for Ackermann hardcover books‎

‎The Triumphs of Temper. A Poem in Six Cantos.‎

‎Chichester: J. Seagrave for T. Cadell and W. Davies 1803. Small 8vo xii 165 pp with 6 plates designed by Maria Flaxman and engraved by Blake. A poor copy 4 of the plates in good condition but an extensive stain from pages 1 to 40 affects an oval area of about 1 cm x 2 cm to the left of the first plate at page 2 and a decreasing area up to page 40. There are also two small stains to the edge of plate 5 on the lower left margin one just intruding into the print area. Old mottled calf decorated and gilt ruled spine generally distressed and with darker 2 cm band across the front cover possibly a old damp stain. § First edition with Blake’s plates. DNB notes: “Possibly his greatest achievement however was his didactic poem Triumphs of Temper 1781 which ‘was to reform the entire feminine mind of England by the advice’ Bishop 53. This allegorical work aspired in rhyming couplets to teach young women the virtues of a pleasant nature. Its advice was heeded by some: Emma Hamilton thanked Hayley ‘for the lessons she had learnt from the poem’ p.Jaffe Drawings by George Romney 1978 44 and asked Romney to inform Hayley that his poem ‘made me Lady H. … for Sir W. minds more temper than beauty’ ibid. Triumphs of Temper ran into fourteen editions and proved to be the most durable of all his publications.†Bentley BB 471. Essick William Blake’s Commercial Book Illustrations XLIII. J.

‎Poetical Sketches.‎

‎8vo. London: Noel Douglas 1926. 8vo 70pp.Original paper over boards with title on spine and clear glassine wrapper. Pages unopened. Near Fine. § Trade edition of this handsome facsimile of the very rare original edition of 1783. Bentley 132. “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.†Noel Douglas hardcover books‎

‎Chaucers Canterbury Pilgrims Painted in Fresco by William Blake & by him Engraved & Published October 8 1810.‎

‎Impression measures 93. London: Colnaghi printing after 5 March 1881. Impression measures 93.9 x 30 cm. printed on laid India paper; recently cleaned. § Final state: it is worth noting that the only difference between the so-called fourth and fifth states is the absence of the scratched dry-point inscriptions clearly visible in a few prints and less and less visible until completely absent by the time Sessler was printing the plate. Instead of “states†the more accurate definitions might be very early to very late 4th state and in that scheme then this print would be well after the early impressions with some or most of the scratched inscriptions visible but before the Sessler printings of the 1940s none of which were on laid India. “‘Chaucers Canterbury Pilgrims’ was one of Blake’s major attempts at building a reputation as a painter-engraver and achieving the sort of critical and financial success that had escaped him for so many years.…†However Blake wasn’t to meet with the critical success he had hoped for and the competition created when Thomas Stothard executed a plate of the same subject caused him to become bitter. “Most contemporary connoisseurs probably found the print old-fashioned and ‘Gothic’ in the pejorative sense.… The record of prices brought by the print at auction indicates that it has attracted strong interest from collectors only in the last few years†Essick pp. 86-88. “It is only in the last two states of the plate that we find Blake’s mature artistry as an original printmaker bringing to his largest and most ambitious single print the same techniques distinguishing his Job and Dante engravings.†Essick Separate Plates of William Blake XVI and see William Blake Printmaker.

The poem was composed by William Hayley. Originally etched in relief and white line by Blake on four plates printed in black ink uncolored; copies are also known hand colored or printed in brown ink. This is one of Blake’s rarest works; it is also amongst the rarest of Muir’s facsimiles; some were issued in The Hobby Horse and some separately - this is one of the separate issues and the only copy I have ever seen. They can be distinguished from the Hobby Horse examples since the latter were cut into two pieces to fit in the magazine always with slight loss of text at the cut or folded twice.

‎Blake’s Illustrations of Dante. Plate 1: “The Circle of the Lustful: Paolo and Francescaâ€.‎

‎US: 1954. Large folio fine clear uniform impression on hand-made paper with no watermark inscribed in pencil by Lessing Rosenwald see below. § The best of Blake's illustrations of Dante often called the “Whirlwind of loversâ€. It depicts a scene from the fifth canto of The Inferno in which Dante guided by Virgil sees the sinful bodies of lovers "whom love bereav'd of life" trapped in a whirlwind rising to heaven.Incomplete at the time of his death in 1827 Blake’s illustrations for the Divine Comedy commissioned by John Linnell are some of his finest and most affecting inventions. From 102 illustrations ranging from pencil sketches to finished watercolors Blake made seven engravings also left incomplete. Though unfinished these prints are still reckoned amongst the most powerful and moving of Blake’s images and are especially impressive by virtue of their large size.This impression from the original plate was printed for Lessing Rosenwald in 1953/4 this impression is dated 6/14/1954. No number is given though Keynes Blake Studies suggested 20 sets plus three extra prints of plate 1; the later 1968 printing of restrikes for the Trianon Press edition was limited to 25 sets. Essick notes see below that “In 1953-55 Rosenwald had sets printed on heavy dead-white wove paper with a surprisingly bold pebble-grain surface. The plates had to be printed with considerable pressure in order to smooth the paper sufficiently to register fine lines.
