Single leaf recently cleaned. § First edition one of 100 sets printed directly onto Whatman wove with the word “proof†removed. Blake had a long pictorial engagement with the biblical story of Job. This a single leaf from a series of 21 engravings commissioned by John Linnell in 1823 that are generally considered to be Blake's masterpiece as an intaglio printmaker. "Rather than using the customary "mixed method" of preliminary etching followed by engraving Blake used pure line engraving in the Job plates. Perhaps one of his motivations was to evoke the art of the master engravers of the Renaissance whom Blake greatly admired such as Albrecht Dürer." The William Blake Archive.In the Book of Job Job and his old friends argue at length over the divine purpose of Job's afflictions. This plate illustrates the moment the youthful Elihu overcomes his respect for his elders and bursts into the conversation to explain why he thinks both sides are wrong Job 32:6. In Blake's elaborate borders the figure of Job's Humanity sleeps while soaring angels try to awaken him.Bentley Blake Books 421A. Bindman Complete Graphic Works of Blake 625–641C.

197291063 volumes. London: Trianon Press 1972. 3 volumes folio with 116 color facsimile leaves reproduced by collo-type and hand-stencil color the text of the poems reproduced from copper-plate with 3 additional printings to reproduce Blake's pencillings and the tone of the paper. Marbled boards morocco backstrips slipcases a very good set as issued. § Limited to 220 copies thus; 100 copies were issued unbound in Port-folio and 36 de luxe copies with extra material. The 116 water-color illustrations to Thomas Gray's poems are among Blake's major achievements as an illustrator. They were commissioned in 1797 by Blake's friend the sculptor John Flaxman as a gift for his wife Ann to whom Blake addressed the poem that ends the series. The commission may have been inspired by the Flaxmans' seeing Blake's water-color designs to Edward Young's Night Thoughts begun in 1795. The Gray illustrations follow the same basic format. Blake cut windows in large sheets of the same type of Whatman paper used for the Night Thoughts illustrations and mounted in these windows the texts of Gray's poems from a 1790 octavo edition published by John Murray leaving out some prefatory materials fly-titles the notes and the 7 engraved illustrations. Blake then drew and colored his designs surrounding the letterpress texts. On blank versos near the beginning of each poem and in one case on a separate piece of paper pasted over letterpress text Blake inscribed with pen and ink either titles for each design or quotations from the poem to indicate the passage illustrated. On most text pages Blake also drew a pencil cross left of the first line of the illustrated passage. He numbered most leaves consecutively in pen and ink beginning a new sequence for each of the 13 poems.Blake conceived of his work as an illustrated book rather than a series of unbound designs as indicated by his offsetting Gray's texts above and to the right left on versos from the middle of each leaf—then the convention for all letterpress books. Although listed by William Michael Rossetti in his catalogue of Blake's drawings and paintings published in the 1863 and 1880 editions of Alexander Gilchrist's Life of William Blake the Gray illustrations were virtually unknown until their rediscovery by Herbert Grierson in 1919.The Trianon Press reproductions are recognized as the finest examples of the art of facsimile reproduction; working from the originals in Paul Mellon’s collection each leaf is faithfully hand-colored through stencils to achieve an astonishing exactitude. The Times Literary Supplement stated that nothing like these books had ever been printed before and that it was highly unlikely that they could be printed again. Bentley Blake Books 385.

1893WRCLIT73714London: Bernard Quaritch 1893. Three volumes. Large thick octavo. Original green cloth spines and upper covers elaborately decorated in pictorial gilt after designs by Blake t.e.g. others untrimmed. Portrait facsimiles and plates. Spines somewhat rubbed and dull some shelfwear to joints and lower edges and bumps and wear to fore-tips endsheets a bit foxed and cloth a bit handsoiled some cracking and subtle repairs to inner hinges; still not a wholly disagreeable set of a work particularly susceptible to such issues. First edition. One of five hundred sets comprising the regular paper issue. Controversial in its interpretation of Blake's texts this work nonetheless remains in this issue and binding something of a landmark of 1890s book production. "The enthusiasm and comprehensiveness of this work are of considerable historical importance" - Bentley. Wade quotes Yeats's inscription in his own copy about the nature of this collaboration: "The writing of this book is mainly Ellis's the thinking is as much mine as his. The biography is by him. He re-wrote and trebled in size a biography of mine. The greater part of the 'symbolic system' is my writing; the rest of the book was written by Ellis working over short accounts of the books by me except in the case of the 'literary period' the account of the minor poems & the account of Blake's art theories which are all his own except in so far as we discussed everything together."
