1972CNJL1047London: Printed at the Trianon Press for the Trustees of the William Blake Trust 1972. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Blake William. Two volumes number 522 of 540 folio and octavo sizes unpaginated 21 plates and 10 pp. of commentary. "There is No Natural Religion" is a series of gnomic aphorisms written in 1788. The plates were made by relief etching on copper and are among Blake's earliest experiments in this method of etching for his illuminated books. The different states slightly vary in the order of the plates with copy L Series b considered to be Blake's first Illuminated Book. The text as described by Geoffrey Keynes in his description ".state Blake's belief in the spiritual and mystical nature of man and the unreality of vegetable existence and reason. In the first series he has stated and reiterated the inadequacy of regarding man as a creature limited in his perceptions by his natural organs. The idea of a 'natural' religion such as might have been satisfied by his Deist friends Paine Priestly and Godwin is therefore discarded as absurd. In the second series Blake has restated in the first Proposition the essence of the first series and has then proceeded to elaborate the effect that such mental limitation would have on its possessor. He would be filled with loathing and despair seeing nothing beyond himself performing the same dull round over and over again. Man is saved by his poetic or 'prophetic' faculties. These make his desires infinite not bounded by his natural organs allowing Blake to end with the triumphant cry of the mystic announcing his identity with God." <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: Two volumes both in original quarter brown morocco with hand-marbled paper sides backstrips lettered in gilt twenty-one plates twenty of which were reproduced by colour collotype with water-color washes by hand through stencil and one monochrome engraving printed on Arches pure rag paper made to match the paper used by Blake each page is watermarked with Blake's monogram; the larger of the two volumes is folio size 12" by 9.38 and the smaller octavo size 7.25" by 5" unpaginated 21 plates and 10 pp. of commentary limited edition no. 522 of 540 of the regular editions 616 copies total.

1808123891Single plate. London: Cadell and Davies 1808. Single plate etching on wove unwatermarked paper full margins cleaned. § From the first 4to edition. One of Blake's most memorable images. It was designed by Blake and engraved by Luigi Schiavonetti. Bentley Blake Books 435b."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."
