An impressive production hailed by many to be Blake's greatest masterpiece completed just before the end of his life. "The story which Blake called 'Job's Captivity' fascinated him all his life. He alluded to it throughout his drawings and writings made a large separate print of Job in 1793 and then a series of twenty-one designs for his faithful patron Thomas Butts about 1810" Bentley. Blake took the plates from Butts' earlier commissions and began work on a second set for John Linnell his friend and fellow artist in 1821. Hoping to earn his impoverished aging friend much needed income Linnell completely backed the project monetarily while Blake went to task engraving. Only 20 of the 315 sets were sold during Blake's lifetime mostly to members of his inner circle marking this a commercial failure. However the work was widely recognized as an artistic success amongst the nobility and upper gentry with copies purchased for the King's Library and The Royal Academy. Like many artists Blake did not receive proper recognition until after his death. Admired by John Ruskin he writes highly of the artist in his 1857 text The Elements of Drawing that "The Book of Job . is of the highest rank in certain characters of imagination and expression; in the mode of obtaining certain effects of light it will also prove a very useful example to you. In expressing conditions of glaring and flickering light Blake is greater than Rembrandt." Bentley 421A Keynes 55 vi Ray 8. Published by the Author unknown

He is largely credited with transforming surfing from a regional Hawaiian sport to one with national popularity as well as establishing California surf culture. Paradise of the Pacific Press unknown
