"The Botanic Garden an annotated scientific poem in Augustan couplets appeared in two parts of which the second The Loves of the Plants 1789 was published before the first The Economy of Vegetation 1791. Darwin decided to publish the second part of the work first because it was better suited 'to entertain and charm.' The first part of the work is more ambitious than the second covering all natural philosophy and embodying many of the researches and inventions of Wedgwood Watt Boulton and others. The design of the totality was Darwin wrote 'To enlist Imagination under the banner of Science . . . to induce the ingenious to cultivate the knowledge of botany . . . and recommending to their attention the immortal works of the celebrated Swedish naturalist-Linnaeus'" Dictionary of Scientific Biography. The Botanic Garden is also important for the five plates in Vol. I engraved by William Blake: four engravings of the Portland vase and the "Fertilization of Egypt" after a design by Fuseli.

190323193London 1903. Engraving by Thomas Butts after Blake. Laid paper. First and only state. Hand-written in ink upper right corner "Cent quatre vingt septieme 187" Christ walks over the vanquished Satan.<br/> <br/> This fascinating engraving after a Blake drawing depicts a muscular and single-minded Christ with a bow in one hand and arrow in the other walking on the beard and chest of Satan who despite his lifeless eyes reaches for Christ's bow. Blake's Christ is more reminiscent of Hercules or Gilgamesh than the Christ known to us through church iconography and his Satan reminds us more of Zeus than Christianity's Devil. Archibald Russell in The Engravings of William Blake Houghton Mifflin 1912 writes that this image illustrates a passage in Paradise Lost Bk. VI 763 but was an allegory for the triumph of imagination or creativity over reason. Thomas Butts senior 1757-1845 and junior 1788-1862 were both given drawing and engraving lessons by Blake starting in March 1806. They produced a number of plates from Blake's designs although his level of direct involvement can only be estimated. The present plate was sold by the Butts' descendants at Sotheby's lot 20 24 June 1903. The plate was acquired shortly after the auction by Edward J. Shaw of Walsall. He apparently had printed a number of impressions by December 1903. These are the earliest recorded impressions of this plate other than a single impression sold with the plate at the auction. The plate remained in Shaw's possession until 1925 when it was sold at Sotheby's 29 July lot 158 to Mansfield. The New York dealers E. Weyhe bought a number of impressions and possibly the plate itself as they still had multiple copies for sale as late as 1965. Essick records 18 copies of this print on various paper types but no order of precedence is given and he had not seen any `proof' impressions.<br/> <br/> Essick The Separate Plates of William Blake. unknown

This copy is unusual and desirable for the extra material from many of Blake’s most famous commercial engravings as follows: Volume I: Originally bound in opposite pp. 1 but now detached ‘Guillermo Blake’ T Phillips Pinx t L Schiavonetti V.A. Sculpt. Frontispiece from the very rare Meditaciones Poeticas 1826 folded three times 8-1/2 x 13-1/2 inches; and 11 additional engravings from the same edition are bound in after the text all folded in order of original appearance and fairly tightly cropped; and a single engraving from The Triumphs of Temper: Flaxman/ Blake Canto I Verse 29 1803 Cadell and Davies.Volume II: After pp. 268 we find the cropped title page from the quarto issue of The Grave 8-6/8 x 13 inches.

Four engravings from Life and Posthumous Writings Cowper: A View of St Edmunds Chapel; William Cowper Author of The Task; William Cowper Carmine Nobilem; and Mrs Cowper. From the 1799 J. Johnson 8vo edition of Darwin’s Botanic Garden: The Fertilization of Egypt London Dec 1st 1791 St Pauls Church Yard. 9 engravings from Gay’s Fables Vol I 1793: The Goat without a Beard; The Shepherd and the Philosopher; The Pin and the Needle; The Tame Stage; The Miser and Plutus; The Persian the Sun and the Cloud; The Butterfly and the Snail; The Setting Dog and the Patridge; and The Owl and the Farmer.Also of interest are the prints found in all copies - three from electrotypes of the Virgil prints and 17 from electrotypes of the Songs of Innocence and of Experience. Gilchrist was Blake’s first full-scale biographer. The work was unfinished when he died and largely completed by Dante Gabriel Rossetti who wrote the final chapter from Gilchrist’s notes with help from his brother William Michael and also Swinburne whose own book on Blake was the result of his researches when reviewing Gilchrist’s book.

Dahl's classic children's tale of a young boy's fantastical revenge against his bullying grandmother. Sir Quentin Blake's artistic contributions to Dahl's most popular children's novels have become synonymous with the stories themselves with his illustrations for 'George' receiving particular praise for skillfully softening the author's harsher story elements as pointed out thus by Dahl biographer Jeremy Treglown "Blake lightens things by visually reminding the reader both how small George is and as he wanders around the house looking for ingredients for his medicine how lonely and innocent. His actions come across as prompted more by curiosity than cruelty". Roald Dahl: A Biography p 229. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.

Part I 'The Economy of Vegetation' involves a far-reaching survey of science and technology with significant sections on evolutionary theories and numerous footnotes on electrical phenomena. Part II 'The Love of the Plants' is a 'single-minded catalogue of vegetable sex-life"" Norman. Darwin describes plant reproduction according to the Linnaean system ""by means of a most ingenious and amusing personification of each plant and often even of the parts of the plant. It is significant that botanical notes are added to the poem and that its eulogies of scientific men are frequent"" Britannica. Darwin's Garden is also important for the five plates in Part I engraved by William Blake: ""The Fertilization of Egypt"" engraved after the painting by Henry Fuseli and four engravings of the Portland Vase.
