18271259791827. N.p.: n.d. <br /> <br /> 8vo 141pp. original printed blue wrappers with the Blake plate pasted in at the front. The image and plate mark as per Essick 3.1 x 7.8 cm. and 3.3 x 8.1 cm. respectively. Printed in black on wove India paper measuring 5 x 10 cm.<br /> <br /> § Enigmatic version of the famous "Cumberland card" Blake's last engraving executed for one of his closest friends. It is lightly printed and pasted into a copy of the Hayward catalogue: inscribed at the front by Geoffrey Keynes to Robin Skelton and with a later pencil inscription see below noting that this is "a copy of Blake's engraving struck off by Keynes from the plate". This cannot be true since Keynes never owned the original plate and its whereabouts have never been established. More likely is that Keynes gave Skelton a spare proof of the card illustrated in his book Engravings by William Blake plate 38. A subsequent owner William Clair notes in pencil: "Presented to Robin Skelton by Geoffrey Keynes with a copy of Blake's engraving struck off by Keynes from the plate." and adding "Bought in Toronto". Skelton was a highly regarded poet and academic who though English lived in Toronto and taught at the University of Victoria.<br /> <br /> The images invoke one of Blake's greatest themes-the relationships between time and eternity. Opinions vary on the purpose of this plate but it should be noted that at the time 1827 it was not uncommon to paste a calling card into a book as proof of ownership. However no book once owned by Cumberland has been located with his card pasted in. It has also been suggested that the name of Cumberland in the center was executed by a writing engraver and Blake added his borders later. 39 examples of this print are known to Essick not including examples now untraced all but three on laid paper printed later and three on card but it is quite rare in commerce. <br /> <br /> Offered with the book Engravings by William Blake.<br /> <br /> Essick The Separate Plates of William Blake XXI.

1813109208Single plate. London: R. Ackermann 1813. Single plate etching on wove unwatermarked paper recently cleaned. § From the second 4to edition this is one of the best known plates in the series. It was designed by Blake and engraved by Luigi Schiavonetti. Bentley Blake Books 435 B."In October 1805 Blake was commissioned by the engraver and would-be publisher Robert H. Cromek to prepare forty drawings illustrating Robert Blair's The Grave a popular "Graveyard" school poem first published in 1743. Cromek planned to select twenty of these designs for a deluxe edition of the poem. In Cromek's first prospectus of November 1805 Blake is named as both the designer and engraver of fifteen designs. Blake etched one image Deaths Door in white-line but Cromek rejected it. The dark power of the white-line print appeals to modern tastes but was far from fashionable in the early nineteenth century. In a second prospectus also of November 1805 Cromek announced that Luigi or Louis Schiavonetti would engrave twelve designs for the new edition. Blake had lost the potentially lucrative commission to engrave his own designs; his relationship with Cromek descended into anger and argument. In spite of their disagreement Cromek included a portrait of Blake as a frontispiece to the volume published in 1808. Cromek promoted the book aggressively and the illustrations to The Grave became Blake's best known work through much of the nineteenth century." The William Blake Archive R. Ackermann unknown books
