1827réf. 1050781827. London: William Blake 1827. Printed in black ink on thick card. Very finely printed in good condition though trimmed very close to the image at the left and right edges once pasted down and thus with traces of mounting on the verso and pencil notes from an earlier collector c. 1950 image and plate mark exactly as per Essick 1DD. § Blake's last engraving executed for one of his closest friends. "Blake inscribed the plate lower right with his name and age "A Æ 70." He may have sensed that 1827 could well be the last year of his life but took pride in being capable of pursuing his art and craft to the end. Blake was in fact 69 when he died; perhaps he inscribed "70" on the Cumberland card in anticipation of working on it until he turned that age. At least when considered in retrospect this most unusual inscription contributes to the elegiac and prophetic iconography of the design." The images invoke one of Blake's greatest themes-the relationships between time and eternity. Although probably intended as a calling card two books have been located with this card pasted in both written by George Cumberland Jr. Thus it has on occasion been sold as a "bookplate." Examples on card not in Cumberland's book are exceptionally rare and have been presumed to be of the earliest printing and possibly by Blake himself. All other impressions on laid paper most often are posthumous. Thirty-nine examples in all are known to Essick not including examples now untraced of which eight are on card of which one is described as printed in green ink.

1935réf. 79441935. New York: Pierpont Morgan Library 1935. Large 4to text illustrations including 63 color facsimile plates in six fascicles in original wrappers with labels; near fine copy small stain to one wrapper enclosed in the original blue cloth box rather worn. § A magnificent production showing for the first time the three colored sets done by Blake and the drawings for the smaller set as well as reproducing in fine facsimile the proof issue of the first printing. Issued in a small edition and hard to find in good condition. Bentley BB 374. "The 134 plates of this excellent edition include Blake's pencil drawings and watercolors and proofs of his engravings. For the genesis of Job it is of crucial importance." Despite the Trianon Press edition of 1987 this edition is still a necessity as it reproduces in color a set not reproduced in color in the Trianon edition. unknown books

Armorial bookplate of the Corbollis family on front pastedown of each volume. Excellent original copies in fantastic overall condition. § Second edition final state of the "Weatherhouse" plate designed by Blake. Hayley's position as the most respectable and considerable literary figure who had known Cowper made him the inevitable choice to write the definitive work. Blake was living with his wife at Felpham and she helped him make and print the engravings for their old friend and patron Hayley however "the plates for vols i-ii are much more clearly and darkly printed in the second edition so indicated on the title pages than the first. Perhaps many of the lines were cut more deeply when the plates were converted in their second states but more careful inking and printing could account for the considerable tonal differences. One hesitates to blame Mrs. Blake for the poor impressions of the first states but that may indeed be the case" Essick William Blake's Commercial Book Illustrations 86. Bentley Blake Books 468 A.

Contemporary marbled boards modern-calf backstrip and tips a very good set with good margins around the plates: rare. § Only edition. "These are the only caricature prints engraved by Blake. The graphic style is appropriately broad and rugged particularly in the barnyard scene. 'Fun I love but too much fun is of all things most loathsom' Blake to Trusler 1799. Blake may have felt that the great rage for caricature prints in the 1790s was a hindrance to the sale of his own original graphic works." Essick CBE p. 37. Bentley Blake Books 513.
