William Blake's Watercolour Inventions in Illustration of The Grave by Robert Blair. Respectively Edited with Essays and Commentary by. and an Essay on the Poem by.

Best.-Nr. 42249Lavenham: The William Blake Trust 2009. Limited edition one of 36 special copies from a total edition of 186 copies. Folio. 95 1 pp. Publisher's wine red half calf over black moiré silk gilt lettered to the spine with a matching gilt lettered label to the upper board slipcase in matching moiré silk. Illustrated in colour and black and white; slipcase also housing a matching red full calf portfolio enclosing a card wallet holding fine reproductions of Blake's original watercolours mounted on card as per the originals. Just some slight dustiness to the slipcase a sumptuous production. An out-of-series set marked as such on the watercolours wallet being John Commander's own copy. Although not inscribed by him directly the set was acquired from Commander's estate. Loosely inserted is a 12 page typescript of a review of the work by his fellow Blake scholar Robert N. Essick with Commander's pencilled annotations at intervals concerning some of Essick's observations. Also enclosed is an original 6" x 4" colour photograph captioned in pencil on the rear "John Commander Bob Essick Detto unknown" dated "October 21 1991". Commander spent his life in publishing and for many years headed the Scolar Press. An expert on Blake he was heavily involved in the refounding of the William Blake Trust and was appointed as secretary and executive director of the organisation. He also wrote about Blake and is credited with the design and production of this work on the verso of the title page. The story of the origins and subsequent disappearance of William Blake's designs for "The Grave" are long and complicated. Blake had been commissioned by Robert Hartley Cromek to produce illustrations for Blair's poem in late 1805 intending for a published edition. Blake assumed he would also be employed to engrave the images and be paid accordingly. However Cromek had other ideas and gave the work to the Italian engraver Luigi or Louis Schiavonetti. Various miscommunications and provocations ensued causing Blake and Cromek to fall out. The published work eventually appeared in 1808 and Cromek passed away four years later at the age of 42. The whereabouts of Blake's designs for the next two decades are broadly known but after their sale in 1836 they completely disappeared. Nineteen of the watercolours in their original red portfolio reproduced faithfully here eventually turned up in Glasgow in 2001. Originally offered for sale together as a collection the ownership passed to a London art dealer who failed to find a buyer. They were subsequently individually lotted up including the case and sold at Sotheby's New York in 2006. Now split between "four different countries and two continents" the auction was the last time the collection was held in one place. Lavenham: The William Blake Trust unknown

William Blake's Designs for Gray's Poems reproduced full-size in monochrome or colour from the unique copy belonging to His Grace the Duke of Hamilton Presentation Copy; Ex-Libris Ruthven Todd

1922Best.-Nr. 89590Oxford: Humphrey Milford / Oxford University Press 1922. First Limited Edition. No. 8 of 650 numbered copies. This a presentation copy from the Duke & Duchess of Hamilton to "Mr. & Mrs. Alington" inscribed on half-title: "For Mr. & Mrs. Alington / with grateful thanks for the loving care given to Malcolm & David / from the Duke & Duchess of Hamilton" dated 1926. Also with the later undated ownership signature of prominent Scottish poet and Blake scholar Ruthven Todd. Folio ca. 20" x 15"; original maroon cloth with gilt spine and cover titles; 215pp text 64 unnumbered leaves of plates printed both sides six in color. Contents complete and fine; mild external wear and soil still a handsome Near Fine copy in the publisher's binding. These designs by Blake never published were originally in the possession Blake's close friend the artist John Flaxman 1755-1826; in 1828 Flaxman's estate was sold by Christie's at which time the drawings made their way into the trade then eventually into the library of Hamilton Palace. Through a happy accident the drawings were not dispersed with the palace library in 1882 and remained undiscovered until the estate's tragic dismantling in 1922. In conjunction with the Duke and Duchess Grierson commissioned the reproductions and saw the current work into print adding a keenly perceptive essay on the drawings' history and their place in the evolution of Blake's technique. Though not certain the presentation to "Mr. and Mrs. Alington" is almost certainly to Charles Alington founder of the Labrador Retriever Club in 1920 of which the Duchess was a charter member a champion breeder and an expert on field trials and judging. The Duchess Hamilton was herself a major figure in the field trial world winning the premier championship in 1909 with her Labrador bitch Dungavel Phoebe. She was also a major force for animal welfare co-founding in 1906 the Animal Defence and Anti-Vivisection Society. A distinguished copy of a work that appears infrequently in commerce. We note no other presentation copies in the auction record; the Todd provenance is a very nice addition indeed. Humphrey Milford / Oxford University Press unknown
