1926réf. 1232721926. London: Noel Douglas 1926. 8vo 70 pp. Original paper over boards with title on spine. Very good with spine a touch darkened and light dusting to original cream boards and slight spotting to endpapers. § Trade edition of this handsome facsimile of the very rare original edition of 1783. "The original 1783 copies were seventy-two pages in length printed in octavo by John Flaxman's aunt who owned a small print shop in the Strand and paid for by Anthony Stephen Mathew and his wife Harriet dilettantes to whom Blake had been introduced by Flaxman in early 1783. Each individual copy was hand-stitched with a grey back and a blue cover reading "POETICAL SKETCHES by W.B." It was printed without a table of contents and many pages were without half titles. Of the extant copies eleven contain corrections in Blake's handwriting. Poetical Sketches is one of only two works by Blake to be printed conventionally with typesetting; the only other extant work is The French Revolution in 1791 which was to be published by Joseph Johnson. However it never got beyond the proof copy and was thus not actually published. Even given the modest standards by which the book was published it was something of a failure. Alexander Gilchrist noted that the publication contained several obvious misreadings and numerous errors in punctuation suggesting that it was printed with little care and was not proofread by Blake thus the numerous handwritten corrections in printed copies. Gilchrist also notes that it was never mentioned in the Monthly Review even in the magazine's index of "Books noticed" which listed every book published in London each month signifying that the publication of the book had gone virtually unnoticed. Nevertheless Blake himself was proud enough of the volume that he was still giving copies to friends as late as 1808 and when he died several unstitched copies were found amongst his belongings."

1824réf. 1245961824. London: I. Poole 1824. Small 8vo xxiv 372pp. With an engraved frontispiece 4 full-page engravings including one by Blake 8 hand-colored botanical plates 8 plates of engraved music a calendar with an engraved title-page and 6 plates and 12 blank leaves titled "Album 1825" recorded by Keynes but not noted in other copies we have had. Publisher's original full brown calf central panels on both covers blind-stamped within a richly gilt border backstrip with four raised bands gilt-decorated lettered REMEMBER ME slightly scuffed and small black splotch ink on lower cover occasional small spots on plates as usual a very good copy of a de luxe issue binding on the first of three editions of the book. § First edition first issue of the book no state variance in the plate with a very early pencil inscription from one woman to another illegible repeated on the next leaf. One of the rarest of all of the plates designed and engraved by Blake. There was a reissue dated 1826 as part of the title probably published late in 1825. The plate titled 'The Hiding of Moses' was the last plate designed and engraved by Blake himself for a commercial publication; the original drawing 'Moses placed in the Ark of Bulrushes' which closely echoes a tempera now untraced that was executed some 25 years earlier is in the Huntington Library. Bentley BB 490B. Easson and Essick WBBI Vol. I XI recording the Rosenwald proof and 3 copies. Keynes Blake Studies XIX recording 7 variants but not mentioning the 1826 printing. Also see Bentley's detailed essay and census of copies in "Remember Me! Customs and Costumes of Blake's Gift Book" University of Toronto Quarterly 80.4 fall 2011: 880-92. Bentley in the U of T Quarterly 2011 noted: "The gift book Remember Me! with Blake's wonderful engraving of the 'Hiding of Moses' was more remarkable for its decorations than for its literary contents. Of the twenty-four copies recorded each differs from the others in the pattern of binding colour of fore-edges endpapers and the decorated sleeve-case. Despite this varied elegance the work had only a modest sale and the same sheets were re-issued in 1825 for the 1826 gift-giving season. This paucity of sales may be related to the fact that the publisher John Poole had little experience of book distribution. His speciality was as a maker of Marble Paper and Fancy Pocket-Books not in selling them.". unknown books
