Very good copy in a worn folding box. § Limited to 516 copies. The definitive facsimile of one of Blake’s greatest works and the first of the magnificent series of facsimiles created by the Trianon Press of Blake’s illuminated books. The Preludium is by Joseph Wicksteed and the Bibliographical Statement by Geoffrey Keynes. Bentley 78. "Blake's etched copperplates giving the text of his poem and the basis of the designs were printed by him in a rich orange ink and were then illuminated by hand in water colours and gold. The etched base has now been reproduced by collotype in orange and the prints have then been coloured by hand by a stencilling process so that the final result bears the closest possible resemblance to Blake's original plates. An average of forty-four applications of water colours was required for each full page illustration of which there are four. Of the remainder fifty-one have some text with designs filling half the page or more and thirty-five have text with small marginal decorations.".

108281Printed for & sold by the Widow Spicer of Folkstone for the Benefit of her Orphans. n.d. 55.9 x 22.9 cm. single sheet folded once with some traces of mounting tape on the vertical margin some creases but very good. § The very fine William Muir facsimile often mistaken in the past as the original. The poem was composed by William Hayley. Originally etched in relief and white line by Blake on four plates printed in black ink uncolored; copies are also known hand colored or printed in brown ink. This is one of Blake’s rarest works; it is also amongst the rarest of Muir’s facsimiles; some were issued in The Hobby Horse and some separately - this is one of the separate issues and the only copy I have ever seen. They can be distinguished from the Hobby Horse examples since the latter were cut into two pieces to fit in the magazine always with slight loss of text at the cut or folded twice.

1808109096London: Printed by T. Bensley for R.H. Cromek 1808. Rare first edition subscriber's copy of Robert Blair`s famous poem which initiated a fashion for mortuary poems illustrated with 11 etchings by William Blake. Quarto bound in three quarters morocco marbled endpapers with the famous engraved frontispiece portrait of William Blake after the painting by Phillips engraved title page with 11 additional plates engraved by Louis Schiavonetti after Blake's drawings designed at the request of Cromek. With the poem dedicated to the Queen by Blake list of subscribers four-page prospectus for the Procession of Chaucer`s Pilgrims to Canterbury by Thomas Stothard at rear. In very good condition. Ownership inscription. Rare and desirable. In October 1805 Blake was commissioned by the engraver and would-be publisher Robert H. Cromek to prepare 40 drawings for Robert Blair's Grave from which Cromek planned to select twenty for this deluxe edition of the poem. While The Grave originally appeared in 1743 this 1808 edition was to become famous for its illustrations demonstrating "the rare imaginative power of William Blake" Magnusson 162. A dispute over a preliminary etching "in white-line" called "Death's Door" which Cromek rejected resulted in Blake's being prevented from engraving his own designs so the 12 drawings eventually selected were rendered by Louis Schiavonetti "with a mingled grace and grandeur which won for them a wider popularity. Never has the theme of death been handled in pictorial art with more elevation and beauty" DNB. Printed by T. Bensley for R.H. Cromek unknown books

Very Good with light wear discoloration to rear board and bumping to corners. <br /> <br /> <p>Bertram Cope's Year is the first mainstream American novel to depict a homosexual relationship. The established writer Henry Blake Fuller tried several commercial publishers before resorting to a friend with a small press to get his comic novel in print.
