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.

Adam and the Beasts. plate from Hayley's Ballads

Recently cleaned trimmed close to the right plate mark but not touching it other margins wide. § Frontispiece to the first edition of the rarest letterpress publication containing engravings by Blake Hayley's Ballads 1802. The frontispiece Adam and the Beasts is one of Blake’s most alluring images. The illustrations were drawn engraved printed and published by Blake himself. The work was a financial disaster and unfortunately Blake had borne most of the publication costs. He was eventually reduced to reusing unsewn sheets of the 1802 Ballads for sketch paper.

First edition of Blake’s engravings after these dreamy and slightly surreal illustrations. Bentley Blake Books 471A. Essick William Blake’s Commercial Book Illustrations XLIII. DNB notes of Hayley: “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.†J. Seagrave for T. Cadell and W. Davies unknown 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."
