Blake William; Keynes Geoffrey Commentary
Milton A Poem
London: Printed at the Trianon Press for the Trustees of the William Blake Trust 1967. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Blake William. Number 368 of 380 quarto size unpaginated 51 plates 13 pp. of printed text. "Milton" is a long mystical poem one of Blake's prophetic works written c. 1804-1808. The fairly abstract narrative involves Milton in heaven hearing the mournful song of bard and inspired returns to earth to intervene on behalf of the poet. Keynes remarks in his commentary that "This epic as a whole contains many passages of exceptional beauty and provides numerous clues useful for the euclidation of Blake's symbolism and philosophy." 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. This edition was printed in Paris by Trianon Press in the workshops of MM. Hourdebaigt and Crampe. ___DESCRIPTION: Original quarter brown morocco with hand-marbled paper sides top-edge gilt backstrip lettered in gilt the fifty illuminated pages were reproduced by the collotype and stencil process one monochrome plate reproducing the original preface printed on Arches pure rag paper made to match the paper used by Blake each page watermarked with Blake's monogram quarto size 11.25" by 8.75" unpaginated 51 plates 13 pp. of printed text limited edition no. 368 of 380 of the regular editions 426 copies total. Housed in publisher's slipcase covered with the same hand-marbled paper with matching morocco guards at the head and tail of the opening. ___CONDITION: A fine copy internally bright and free of prior owner markings covers are clean corners are straight text block is tight and square; overall a fine copy.

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." 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.

Blake William; Keynes Geoffrey Bibliographical Statement
Visions of the Daughters of Albion
London: Printed at the Trianon Press for the Trustees of the William Blake Trust 1959. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Blake William. One of 400 of regular editions 446 copies total folio size unpaginated 11 plates and 4 pp. of commentary. "Visions of the Daughters of Albion" published in 1793 is one of Blake's prophetic books and is considered to be a sort of sequel to "The Book of Thel". Its early feminist subject matter was influenced in part by Mary Wollstonecraft's "A Vindication of the Rights of Women" published in 1792. In Geoffrey Keynes' Bibliographical Statement he remarks "The theme of "Visions of the Daughters of Albion" is in effect partly a protest against the sexual morals of the day and it has been related by some writers to crises in Blake's own life such as his realization that he was tied legally and morally to a barren wife. But this is pure conjecture and it is better to regard the book as a poet's view of the evils of organized religion compulsory morals oppressed womanhood and in addition of slavery. 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.

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." 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.

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. ___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.

Special Edition number VII of XXV of a total edition of 350 folio size 37 pp. together with an extra suite of illustrations. "John Milton's 1608-1674 'On the Morning of Christ's Nativity' is significant for its merit alone though this remarkable poem is also important in the context of the artist's career. His first major work in English the nativity ode reflects 'his desire to attempt the highest subjects and to take on the role of bardic Poet-Priest' Barbara Lewalski Life of John Milton 38." n. b. from the web site of Dartmouth University.

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. ___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 V�lin 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.

Blake William; Lindsay Jack Essay; Partridge Eric Introduction
Poetical Sketches by William Blake
5 New Oxford Street London: The Scholartis Press 1927. Published December 1927. Turquoise swirling patterned boards w/subtly textured gilt overlay accent dk. blue-green cloth spine wrap gilt embossed spine titles moderate shelf corner wear spine sunning. Fine linen pages sharp; no writing. Uniquely cut at top bottom and deckled at bottom edges. Near very good example of this scarce volume. "In 1926 Mr. Noel Douglas brought out a replica of the original issue of the Poetical Sketches while these poems are admirably edited by Dr. Keynes in his monumental Blake. But the Sketches have been comparatively neglected as a separate publlication and I should like to do something towards restoring the balance. While it is hoped that the Introduction will not be wholly useless I feel that this is an excellent opportunity to stress a hitherto insufficiently treated aspect of Blake's verse by asking Mr. Jack Lindsay to write an essay on the metric of William Blake. Blake's rhythmic effects have undoubtedly influenced English poetry since 1850 to a very considerable extent. Readers will prehaps find pleasure in detecting Blake's influence on Mr. Lindsay's prose." December 1 1927. E. P. Printed by The Westminster Press 4112 Harrow Road London W.9. XXIV introductory pages and 86 pages. Insured post. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good. 4to - over 9�" - 12" tall. The Scholartis Press Hardcover
