1976CNJL1042London: Printed at the Trianon Press for the Trustees of the William Blake Trust 1976. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Blake William. Number 113 of 480 quarto size unpaginated 5 plates and 5 pp. of commentary. "The Book of Los" published in 1795 is one of Blake's prophetic books a sort of retelling of "Urizen" from the perspective of the character "Los". "The Book of Ahania" along with "The Book of Los" were some of the last of the series of Illuminated Books completed by Blake while living in Lambeth. The manner of their execution suggest that he was wearying with the effort of making the splendid books that preceded them and was seeking for a less laborious method of production. He completed only one copy of each book and then laid them aside as if dissatisfied with his experiment. He never included either of them in any list of his productions and is not known to have disposed of them to any customer or patron. They therefore remained unknown until late in the nineteenth century. <br/><br/>William Blake 1757-1827 is arguably the most original and highly regarded English author - unusual in that he excelled both as an author and an artist. Although thought mad by his contemporaries he was held in high regard for his expressiveness and for the synthesis of philosophical and mystical senses within his work. Blake's work has been spectacularly reproduced through the pochoir technique by Arnold Fawcus and his Trianon Press which has an undeniable claim to being the finest press of its kind in the last century and has long been known for their unrivaled artworks in fine colour printing. <br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Original quarter adobe-brown morocco with hand-marbled paper sides backstrip lettered in gilt 5 plates reproduced by the collotype and pochoir processes printed on Arches pure rag paper made to match the paper used by Blake paper is watermarked with Blake's monogram; quarto size 12" by 9.75" unpaginated 5 plates and 5 pp. of commentary limited edition no. 113 of 480 with 538 total copies.

Number 381 of 600 folio size unpaginated 28 pp. "William Blake's early tractate 'All Religions are One' consists of ten small etched plates averaging in size only about 5.5 x 4 cm. There is some uncertainty about the circumstances in which the work was produced though it is generally accepted that is must belong to a period of experimentation in the production of the plates for the Illuminated Books." n.b. from the book's notes. <br/><br/>William Blake 1757-1827 is arguably the most original and highly regarded English author - unusual in that he excelled both as an author and an artist.
