Poetical Sketches. By W.B. The Noel Douglas Replicas.
8vo. New York: Payson & Clarke 1927. 8vo 70pp. Original paper over boards. Very good. § US trade edition. Bentley Blake Books 132B. “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 Payson & Clarke hardcover books

Mylar covers on all volumes. Bw illustrations and maps. Various printings from 1992 to 2009. Volume 1 Beginnings to 1066: This volume deals with the history of English up to the Norman Conquest and contains chapters on Indo-European and Germanic phonology and morphology syntax semantics and vocabulary dialectology onomastics and literary language. Each chapter as well as giving a chronologically-oriented presentation of the data surveys scholarship in the area and takes full account of the impact of developing and current linguistic theory on the interpretation of the data. The chapters have been written with both specialists and non-specialists in mind. Volume 3 1476-1776: This volume begins at the time of the establishment of Caxtons first press in England and concludes with the American Declaration of Independence the notional birth of the first non-insular extraterritorial English. It encompasses three centuries which saw immense cultural change over the whole of Europe: the late middle ages the renaissance the reformation the enlightenment and the beginnings of romanticism. During this time Middle English became Early Modern English and then developed into the early stages of indisputably modern if somewhat old-fashioned English. In this book the distinguished team of six contributors traces these developments covering orthography and punctuation phonology and morphology syntax lexis and semantics regional and social variation and the literary language. The volume also contains a glossary of linguistic terms and an extensive bibliography. Contents: I. The beginnings to 1066 -- II. 1066-1476 -- III. 1476-1776 -- IV. 1776-1997 -- V.

BLAKE William 1757 1827 illustrator Edward YOUNG 1683 1765
The Complaint and the Consolation; or Night Thoughts

Large quarto. 16 5/8 x 12 3/4 inches. 4 engraved section titles and 39 pages with engraved border illustrations by William Blake with the letterpress Explanation of the Engravings leaf. Uncut on the fore-edge and lower edge. Minor offsetting as usual. Later half dark green morocco and green moire cloth boards by Riviere & Son spine with raised bands in seven compartments lettered in the second and fourth the others with a repeat decoration in gilt burgundy glazed endpapers top edge gilt.<br/> <br/>A spectacular work illustrated by Blake.<br/> <br/>"Of the merit of Mr. Blake . the editor conceives it to be unnecessary to speak. To the eyes of the discerning it need not be pointed out; and while the taste for the arts of design shall continue to exist the original conception and the bold and masterly execution of this artist cannot be unnoticed or unadmired" advertisement p.viii. Blake originally intended the present work to be the first installment of a much larger illustrated edition of Young's best selling poem. He chose 43 images to engrave from the 537 drawings in watercolour he had made around pages of the first edition of Young's poem inlaid in album sheets. Perhaps baffled by the novelty of Blake's interpretations the public remained unreceptive and the book remains what is essentially a remarkable fragment: a tantalising hint of what might have been. A large copy. Bentley notes that "the paper was only marginally larger than the copperplate and even in untrimmed copies . parts of the platemark may not appear."

BLAKE William 1757 1827
Chaucers Canterbury Pilgrims. Painted in Fresco by William Blake & by him Engraved & Published October 8 1810
London 1941. Engraving printed on Rives wove paper watermarked "France". A rich impression in excellent condition. Fifth state of five. Image size: 11 3/4 x 37 inches. Final state of the largest Blake engraving.<br/> <br/>"Every age is a Canterbury Pilgrimage" wrote William Blake 1757-1827 poet and probably the most imaginative and original artist in the history of British art. "We all pass on each sustaining one or other of these characters nor can a child be born who is not one or other of these characters of Chaucer." Working in an archaic style intended to evoke the engravings of Chaucer's time Blake presents us with the cast of Chaucer's Tales as they begin their pilgrimage. Since Blake understood his subject so well and wrote with such elegance we can do no better than to use as a guide his own description of the engraving: "The time chosen is the early morning before sunrise when the jolly company are leaving the Tabarde Inn. The Knight and Squire with the Squire's Yeoman lead the Procession; next follow the youthful Abbess her nun and three priests; her greyhounds attend her. Next follow the Friar and Monk and then the Tapiser the Pardoner and the Sompnour and Manciple. After this 'Our Host' who occupies the centre of the cavalcade and directs them to the Knight as the person who would be likely to commence their task of each telling a tale in their order. After the Host follows the Shipman the Haberdasher the Dyer the Franklin the Physician the Ploughman the Lawyer the Poor Parson the Merchant the Wife of Bath the Miller the Cook the Oxford Scholar Chaucer himself; and the Reev comes as Chaucer has described:- And ever he rode hindermost of the rout." The view is eastward from the Tabard in Southwark across the Bridge from London as Blake conceived it to have been in Chaucer's day. He based his costumes on ancient monuments and other records. "As a literary piece" it has been noted Blake's engraving "has hardly an equal in the whole field of art." The engraving was begun late in 1809 and issued by the artist in October the following year. In his Prospectus for the issue Blake declared that the English nation would 'flourish or decay' according to the recognition they gave him for his year's labor. The printing plate survived and passed after Blake's death through the estate of Blake's wife finding its way to the collection of John Giles. Sold at auction with Giles collection in 1881 the printing plate was purchased by Colnaghi who issued restrikes on laid India paper. By 1940 the plate was in the possession of a New York art dealer who sold it to the wife of noted collector A. Edward Newton for her to present to her husband as a fiftieth anniversary present. After Newton's death the plate was sold with his famed library at auction on 16 April 1941 for the princely sum of $2300 to Charles J. Rosenbloom via his agent at the Parke Bernet sale Philadelphia bookseller Charles Sessler. Before delivering the printing plate to Rosenbloom Sessler had a small number of prints pulled on French hand-made paper. Although Rosenbloom only authorized 35 prints Essick and Young identified at least ninety-one impressions. "Whereas most of the identifiable Colnaghi restrikes were flatly printed the Sessler prints were heavily inked and printed. The plate shows minimal wear and the Sessler prints are generally preferable to Colnaghi's earlier printings -- probably because of better cleaning of the copper and superior presswork" Essick and Young. Rosenbloom donated the plate to Yale University in 1973.<br/> <br/>Robert Essick and Michael Young "Blake's Canterbury Print: The Posthumous Pilgrimage of the Copperplate" in Blake: An Illustrated Quarterly Vol. 15 No. 2 Fall 1981 pp. 78-82; Essick Separate Plates of William Blake XVI. unknown books

BLAKE William 1757 1827
Christ Trampling on Satan
London 1903. Engraving by Thomas Butts after Blake. Laid paper. First and only state. Hand written in ink upper right corner "Cent quatre vingt septieme 187" A determined Christ walks over the vanquished Satan.<br/> <br/>This fascinating engraving after a Blake drawing depicts a muscular and single-minded Christ with a bow in one hand and arrow in the other walking on the beard and chest of Satan who despite his lifeless eyes reaches for Christ's bow. Blake's Christ is more reminiscent of Hercules or Gilgamesh than the Christ known to us through church iconography and his Satan reminds us more of Zeus than Christianity's Devil. Archibald Russell in The Engravings of William Blake Houghton Mifflin 1912 that this image illustrates a passage in Paradise Lost Bk.VI 763 but was an allegory for the triumph of imagination or creativity over reason. Thomas Butts senior 1757-1845 and junior 1788-1862 were both given drawing and engraving lessons by Blake starting in March 1806. They produced a number of plates from Blake's designs although his level of direct involvement can only be estimated. The present plate was sold by the Butts' descendants at Sotheby's lot 20 24 June 1903. The plate was acquired shortly after the auction by Edward J. Shaw of Walsall. He apparently had printed a number of impressions by December 1903. These are the earliest recorded impressions of this plate other than a single impression sold with the plate at the auction. The plate remained in Shaw's possession until 1925 when it was sold at Sotheby's 29 July lot lot158 to Mansfield. The New York dealers E.Weyhe bought a number of impressions and possibly the plate itself as they still had multiple copies for sale as late as 1965. Essick records 18 copies of this print on various paper types but no order of precedence is given and he had not seen any `proof' impressions.<br/> <br/>Essick The Separate Plates of William Blake. unknown books
