Malkin was a personal friend of William Blake with whom he shared an interest in radical politics and on the death of his gifted six-year-old son Thomas in 1802 Malkin commissioned Blake to design the frontispiece for Malkin's FATHER'S MEMOIR. In his Preface to this work Malkin gives what the DNB calls the "first and fullest" account of Blake's early life and career and it was with this very tribute to his friend's idiosyncratic genius that Malkin first gave impetus to a more general appreciation of William Blake's art.

Clark Thomas Blake; Reynolds Joshua original portrait
Omai First Polynesian Ambassador to England; The True Story of His Voyage There in 1774 with Captain Cook; of How He Was Feted by Fanny Burney Approved by Samuel Johnson Entertained by Mrs Thrale & Lord Sandwich and Painted by Sir Joshua Reynolds
San Francisco: Colt Press 1940. First and Limited Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. One of five hundred copies large octavo size 119 pp. with prospectus. Mai ca.1751-1780 was mistakenly known as "Omai" in Britain and that is how many still think of him today. He was a young Polynesian priest who was brought to England in 1774 on the British ship HMS "Adventure". He was introduced to London high society by the naturalist Sir Joseph Banks who invited Mai to dine with imminent personages of the day such as the First Lord of the Admiralty Lord Sandwich the notorious and boisterous Mrs. Thrale the erudite Fanny Burney and the stubborn skeptic Samuel Johnson. After two years he was returned to Otaheite; this is the story of both his visit and retreat told by the University of Hawaii professor Thomas Blake Clark with a reproduction of Omai's portrait which was done by the eminent portraitist of the day Sir Joshua Reynolds. This is the second book of Jane Grabhorn's Colt Press's "South Sea Series" and was so successful it was reprinted the following year with a more recent reprint being issued by the University of Hawaii; the author Thomas Clark was a scholar of eighteenth century literature who served as a professor at the University.<br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Original quarter batik cloth with patterned tapa cloth covered boards printed label strip affixed to backstrip fore-edge uncut plain endpapers monochrome frontis after a portrait by Sir Joshua Reynolds most signatures remain unopened; handset type rag paper large octavo size just under 9.75" by 7.75" pagination: i-iv 1-114 115 first and limited edition of five hundred copies.

Blake William; Keynes Geoffrey Description and Bibliographical Statement
All Religions Are One
London: Printed at the Trianon Press for the Trustees of the William Blake Trust 1970. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Blake William. Number 381 of 600 folio size unpaginated 28 pp. "William Blake's early tractate 'All Religions are One' consists of ten small etched plates averaging in size only about 5.5 x 4 cm. There is some uncertainty about the circumstances in which the work was produced though it is generally accepted that is must belong to a period of experimentation in the production of the plates for the Illuminated Books." n.b. from the book's notes. <br/><br/>William Blake 1757-1827 is arguably the most original and highly regarded English author - unusual in that he excelled both as an author and an artist. Although thought mad by his contemporaries he was also held in high regard for his expressiveness and for the synthesis of philosophical and mystical senses within his work. Blake's work has been spectacularly reproduced through the pochoir technique by Arnold Fawcus and his Trianon Press which has an undeniable claim to being the finest press of its kind in the last century and has long been known for their unrivaled artworks in fine colour printing. <br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Original quarter green morocco with hand-marbled paper sides backstrip lettered in gilt ten plates reproduced by the collotype process printed on Arches pure rag paper made to match the paper used by Blake; folio size 12" by 9.25" unpaginated with 28 pp. limited edition this no. 381 of 600 of the regular editions 662 total editions.

Blake William; Keynes Geoffrey Commentary and Bibliographical Statement
The Book of Los
London: Printed at the Trianon Press for the Trustees of the William Blake Trust 1976. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Blake William. Number 113 of 480 quarto size unpaginated 5 plates and 5 pp. of commentary. "The Book of Los" published in 1795 is one of Blake's prophetic books a sort of retelling of "Urizen" from the perspective of the character "Los". "The Book of Ahania" along with "The Book of Los" were some of the last of the series of Illuminated Books completed by Blake while living in Lambeth. The manner of their execution suggest that he was wearying with the effort of making the splendid books that preceded them and was seeking for a less laborious method of production. He completed only one copy of each book and then laid them aside as if dissatisfied with his experiment. He never included either of them in any list of his productions and is not known to have disposed of them to any customer or patron. They therefore remained unknown until late in the nineteenth century. <br/><br/>William Blake 1757-1827 is arguably the most original and highly regarded English author - unusual in that he excelled both as an author and an artist. Although thought mad by his contemporaries he was held in high regard for his expressiveness and for the synthesis of philosophical and mystical senses within his work. Blake's work has been spectacularly reproduced through the pochoir technique by Arnold Fawcus and his Trianon Press which has an undeniable claim to being the finest press of its kind in the last century and has long been known for their unrivaled artworks in fine colour printing. <br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Original quarter adobe-brown morocco with hand-marbled paper sides backstrip lettered in gilt 5 plates reproduced by the collotype and pochoir processes printed on Arches pure rag paper made to match the paper used by Blake paper is watermarked with Blake's monogram; quarto size 12" by 9.75" unpaginated 5 plates and 5 pp. of commentary limited edition no. 113 of 480 with 538 total copies.

Blake William; Keynes Geoffrey Description and Bibliographical Statement
There Is No Natural Religion
London: Printed at the Trianon Press for the Trustees of the William Blake Trust 1972. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Blake William. Two volumes number 522 of 540 folio and octavo sizes unpaginated 21 plates and 10 pp. of commentary. "There is No Natural Religion" is a series of gnomic aphorisms written in 1788. The plates were made by relief etching on copper and are among Blake's earliest experiments in this method of etching for his illuminated books. The different states slightly vary in the order of the plates with copy L Series b considered to be Blake's first Illuminated Book. The text as described by Geoffrey Keynes in his description ".state Blake's belief in the spiritual and mystical nature of man and the unreality of vegetable existence and reason. In the first series he has stated and reiterated the inadequacy of regarding man as a creature limited in his perceptions by his natural organs. The idea of a 'natural' religion such as might have been satisfied by his Deist friends Paine Priestly and Godwin is therefore discarded as absurd. In the second series Blake has restated in the first Proposition the essence of the first series and has then proceeded to elaborate the effect that such mental limitation would have on its possessor. He would be filled with loathing and despair seeing nothing beyond himself performing the same dull round over and over again. Man is saved by his poetic or 'prophetic' faculties. These make his desires infinite not bounded by his natural organs allowing Blake to end with the triumphant cry of the mystic announcing his identity with God." <br/><br/>William Blake 1757-1827 is arguably the most original and highly regarded English author - unusual in that he excelled both as an author and an artist. Although thought mad by his contemporaries he was held in high regard for his expressiveness and for the synthesis of philosophical and mystical senses within his work. Blake's work has been spectacularly reproduced through the pochoir technique by Arnold Fawcus and his Trianon Press which has an undeniable claim to being the finest press of its kind in the last century and has long been known for their unrivaled artworks in fine colour printing. <br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Two volumes both in original quarter brown morocco with hand-marbled paper sides backstrips lettered in gilt twenty-one plates twenty of which were reproduced by colour collotype with water-color washes by hand through stencil and one monochrome engraving printed on Arches pure rag paper made to match the paper used by Blake each page is watermarked with Blake's monogram; the larger of the two volumes is folio size 12" by 9.38 and the smaller octavo size 7.25" by 5" unpaginated 21 plates and 10 pp. of commentary limited edition no. 522 of 540 of the regular editions 616 copies total.

Blake William; Keynes Geoffrey Description and Bibliographical History
The Book of Ahania
London: Printed at the Trianon Press for the Trustees of the William Blake Trust 1973. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Blake William. Number 340 of 750 quarto size unpaginated. "The Book of Ahania" is one of Blake's lesser-known works and is generally agreed to be a continuation of "The Book of Urizen" with Ahania being the feminine manifestation of Urizen signifying pleasure. According to Geoffrey Keynes' Description this text " .along with "The Book of Los" were some of the last of the series of Illuminated Books completed by Blake while living in Lambeth. The manner of their execution suggest that he was wearying with the effort of making the splendid books that preceded them and was seeking for a less laborious method of production. Blake completed only one copy of each book and then laid them aside as if dissatisfied with his experiment. He never included either of them in any list of his productions and is not known to have disposed of them to any customer or patron. They therefore remained unknown until late in the nineteenth century." <br/><br/>William Blake 1757-1827 is arguably the most original and highly-regarded English author - unusual in that he excelled both as an author and an artist. Although thought mad by his contemporaries he was held in high regard for his expressiveness and for the synthesis of philosophical and mystical senses within his work.

Morrison Blake Introduction; Rego Paula Artist
The Children's Crusade No. 23 of the Deluxe Edition
London: Enitharmon Press 1999. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Rego Paula. Number 23 of 75 copies of the deluxe edition folio size 46 pp. signed by Blake Morrison and Paula Rego. Paula Rego b. 1935 a native of Portugal studied art at the Slade School London where she now mainly lives and works. This work is based almost unbelievably so on factual history: "the Children's Crusade of 1212 remains an enigmatic historical episode recorded in only a few contemporary accounts but it captured the imagination of the acclaimed painter Paula Rego as a story steeped in imaginative possibilities and contemporary relevance. It touches not only on children's love of adventure but also on darker issues including fears of the unknown incipient sexuality and exploitation. In his introduction Blake Morrison brilliantly illuminates Rego's twelve hand-coloured etchings and their relation to the crusade and the scene is set by two passages from medieval chronicles. The book concludes with an extensive and revealing interview with Paula Rego in which she explains her fascination with the subject." N.B. from the website of the publisher.<br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Original gray linen covered boards with the illustration "Voices II" inlaid to the upper board fore- and tail-edges uncut color printed reproductions of the original etchings tipped in; text has been hand-set in Monotype Caslon printed on Arches Vélin paper folio size 12.75" by 10" pagination: 1-6 7-45 1 colophon limited edition this number 23 of 75 copies of the deluxe edition total edition 190 signed by Blake Morrison and Paula Rego.
