1877rif. 1229001877. London: John Pearson 1877. Large 4to 100 plates printed in black and white with black framing lines. Original upper blue-gray wrapper backstrip and lower wrapper supplied text block untrimmed. § A wonderful facsimile of copy D now at Harvard limited to 100 copies per Bentley and Keynes but an old Quaritch catalogue stated 250 an unlikely number although a copy is recorded with the number "385" on the front wrapper. This copy numbered 5 on the upper cover. Bentley attributed the publication to Chatto but revised it to Pearson in his Blake Books Supplement. The Rinder copy reproduced by the Trianon Press is in a smaller format and this large quarto has a much more imposing and appealing presence and seems to be a better facsimile - certainly this copy is clearer and more striking than copy C. Bentley BB 76 and BBS p. 88. "Blake's final and longest epic in illuminated printing constitutes a recapitulation and summation of his multiple interests ranging from his own mythology to biblical history from sexuality to epistemology and from the Druids to Newton. The cast of characters is vast but Los the artist's imagination at work in the material world Jerusalem and Albion the female and male portions of divided humanity who must be reunited the nature goddess Vala and Jesus play major roles." The Blake Archive Blake made five copies of Jerusalem but only colored one. A suite of 25 plates was also colored by Blake and a few posthumous copies were printed in tints. The one-hundred plates of Jerusalem were etched in relief with many designs in white-line etching between c. 1804 the date on the title page and 1820. unknown

1780rif. 1106731780. London: Harrison and co. 1780-81. Single plate 10 x 7.5 ins. Browned and foxed. § First edition thus issued originally in parts and perhaps thus of great rarity. The last copy to change hands was in 1993 when Essick bought his copy; he has not recorded another copy in the marketplace since. That rarity is born out by ESTC which records 4 copies in all two at the BL seriously imperfect one in Oxford Queen's College and one in North America Bentley Blake Collection at Victoria University. It is noteworthy for the profusion of illustrations from classical sources and in the five plates engraved by Blake he shows his knowledge of the work of Rubens and Raphael most likely from reproductions in earlier illustrated books.

1796rif. 1246441796. London: by S. Gosnell for William Miller 1796. Slim 4to xi 16 pp. With a frontispiece and 2 illustrations headpiece and tailpiece designed by Blake and engraved by Perry. Later full red straight-grain morocco gilt-lettered backstrip a fine copy with a faded inscription on the title-page "Sophia Baillie". § First edition with Blake's illustrations ridiculed in the press upon publication. One of the rarest letterpress books to contain illustrations designed by Blake. Four copies have sold in the last 40 years; two have appeared at auction. The year 1796 saw three translations of Burger's Lenore one by J. T. Stanley one by H. J. Pye the Poet Laureate and a third by W. R. Spencer with designs by Lady Diana Beauclerk. Blake was commissioned to create three illustrations for the Stanley translation including the frontispiece "Lenore clasping her spectral bridegroom" which is famous for supposedly having hung as a separate print in C.G. Jung's office. The British Critic for September 1796 spitefully compared Lady Diana's pictures with those of Blake's: "We are highly impressed by the propriety decorum and grace which characterizes all the figures of this elegant artist Lady Beauclerk even those of a preternatural kind; forming a most striking contrast to the distorted absurd and impossible monsters exhibited in the frontispiece to Mr. Stanley's last edition i.e. Blake's design. Nor can we pass by this opportunity of execrating that detestable taste founded on the depraved fancy of one man of genius which substitutes deformity and extravagance for force and expression and draws men and women without skin with their joints all dislocated; or imaginary beings which neither can nor ought to exist." The Analytical Review chimed in with comments including "perfectly ludicrous instead of terrific." Lenore had a profound effect on the development of Romantic literature throughout Europe7 and a strong influence on the English ballad-writing revival of the 1790s.8 According to German language scholar John George Robertson5 Lenore exerted a more widespread influence than perhaps any other short poem in the literature of the world. . like wildfire this remarkable ballad swept across Europe from Scotland to Poland and Russia from Scandinavia to Italy. The eerie tramp of the ghostly horse which carries Lenore to her doom re-echoed in every literature and to many a young sensitive soul was the revelation of a new world of poetry. No production of the German "Sturm und Drang"-not even Goethe's Werther which appeared a few months later-had such far-reaching effects on other literatures as Bürger's Lenore; it helped materially to call the Romantic movement in Europe to life. In a similar tone English literature scholar Marti Lee claims that:6 "Lenore" had tremendous influence on the literature of the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-centuries and in fact today's popular horror books and movies are still feeling the reverberations. . In short Bürger's achievement while minor in itself helped father an international movement that led directly to the massive popularity of Gothic works then and now. . As the Gothic novel borrowed many of its original conventions from the German ballads as popularized by "Lenore" we can fairly say that Bürger is one of the most influential founding fathers of the Gothic and horror genres.Bentley Blake Books 440.

1917rif. 1251211917. London: Richard C. Jackson 1917. 4to 2 half-title frontispiece Blake portrait 16. Very good with slight wear to board covers and corners. The dedicatee's copy signed Mackenzie Bell 29th July 1920. § A facsimile produced for the "William Blake Society of Arts and Letters" in a limited edition of 100 copies plus 10 proofs by Richard C. Jackson to commemorate the 160th anniversary of Blake's birth. The facsimile claims to be the first edition of "Little Tom" in moveable type and reproduces Blake's two main designs in different colours - Little Tom on the boat in blue and with his mother in a rather pallid yellow. The title is in red and black. The book is printed on "Queen of Scots" hand-made paper and sewn into quarter cream buckram bound gray paper covered boards with a decorated and printed label in buckram mounted to the cover. Jackson was the founder of the Blake Society of Arts and Letters in 1901 and still President in 1917. The edition has a dedication page to Mackenzie Bell a poet and past Vice-President of the Society and this was apparently his own copy being signed by him on the front end paper. Bentley BB 470 E . Bentley refers to Jackson as being "mendacious" but gives no reason. Jackson does however defame and possibly libel Gilchrist in the colophon at the end of this facsimile so this is perhaps symptomatic. However the facsimile is certainly an impressive and attractive one. unknown
1886rif. 1229031886. London: Kegan Paul Trench and Co. 1886. 4to pp.121-160 with the facsimile of Little Tom the Sailor bound in as the folding frontispiece in two pieces as usual. Very Good with slightly dusty uncut edges to the journal and minor discoloration and spotting to the wrappers as usual. § The very fine William Muir facsimile often mistaken in the past as the original. The poem was composed by William Hayley. Originally etched in relief and white line by Blake on four plates printed in black ink uncolored; copies are also known hand colored or printed in brown ink. This is one of Blake's rarest works; it is also amongst the rarest of Muir's facsimiles; some like this copy were issued in The Century Guild Hobby Horse and others were issued separately all on different papers. See also Keynes Blake Studies 2nd ed. who notes the various papers used and reports that the Muir facsimile was exhibited for some years as the original at the Pierpont Morgan Library.
