‎London: Bernard Quaritch 1893. Three volumes. Large thick octavo. Original green cloth spines and upper covers elaborately decorated in pictorial gilt after designs by Blake t.e.g. others untrimmed. Portrait facsimiles and plates. Some modest rubbing at extremities but a quite bright sound very good or better set. First edition. One of five hundred sets comprising the regular paper issue. Controversial in its interpretation of Blake's texts this work nonetheless remains in this issue and binding something of a landmark of 1890s book production. "The enthusiasm and comprehensiveness of this work are of considerable historical importance" - Bentley. Wade quotes Yeats's inscription in his own copy about the nature of this collaboration: "The writing of this book is mainly Ellis's the thinking is as much mine as his. The biography is by him. He re-wrote and trebled in size a biography of mine. The greater part of the 'symbolic system' is my writing; the rest of the book was written by Ellis working over short accounts of the books by me except in the case of the 'literary period' the account of the minor poems & the account of Blake's art theories which are all his own except in so far as we discussed everything together."

‎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

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."
